Oh Yeah, and One More Thing.

Capitalism angers me with a deep anger. I hate it because it tells me that the most important thing in life is money. I hate it because it tells me to work, and I am inherently lazy. I hate it because it abuses people. I hate it because people talk about love in capitalist terms, like when they say you "invest in people," or you "give love," or love has to be "earned," or that people "deserve" love. Capitalism is so shitty, I don't know how to put it into words. I guess that I can't really back my opinion up with any solid proof, but believe me when I say that it gives me really really bad vibes.
