The human species has essentially been transformed into a giant machine to generate profit for corporations.
Under capitalism, humanity exists to serve the interests of the corporation. We are all livestock; beasts of burden used to carry margin expansion forward from quarterly statement to quarterly statement. Enjoyment of life has no value other than the extent to which it can be used to increase the net worth of the shareholders.
That’s why everyone’s so unhappy. We’re not living with purpose. We’re not working together to build a better world and a better future, we’re just pulling levers to turn gears to make the arrow line go up on the graph in the conference room. It’s a hollow, pointless way for people to live.
It makes our whole culture vapid and soulless.

The world has been turned to profit generating machine, but some parts of the machine are still actively under construction
So it’s pointless to sour the mood by talking about the completed parts until it’s all completely finished, we should focus on the unfinished parts, not to mention profits can be good if we ever end up getting access to them in any state and at any price
Option1: (that’s why we should start demolishing every part of it) Option2: (so it’s not all bad, we can live with the machine)
Option 3: there’s no reason we can’t be of good cheer that not everything is thoroughly corrupted, while also smashing the orphan crushing machine, which will also increase and spread good cheer and good will!
