Late capitalism a quote

[rich]

you all blame capitalism like you blame religion, state, technology or the
matrix. easy to offload all that angst onto a concept. maybe it makes you
feel better but nothing changes, does it? most of us dont want radical
change. the simple matter is whatever we live in provides to most. that may
be hard to stomach. but it's true. prophets are the biggest hypocrites
