I have a theory why we have not been able to break the shackles of capitalism.
The environment was/is still being controlled by those that wanted to make their ideologies palpable to their future generations/continuations, bereft of empathy.
White supremacy is the mind killer. We are literally a microcosm of white supremacy.
We no longer value people, we value things.
Things that depreciate in value, cause pollution, make us sick, and/ or kill us.
