Why blame capitalism?
Its the thing to do. It is VERY hard for me to find anything these days that doesn't blame "capitalism" as the cause of some ill. When I'm talking to a person I often ask them what they mean by capitalism. Most are stumped by this question. I don't do this in an adversarial way mind you, I do it in a curious way. What I've found is that many of us or an inch deep, and a mile wide.

yep..... great way for helping people see things in new ways is just asking them, "what did you mean by that?"

Been doing that for a while. Mostly because I'm curious but also people really love when you show interest in their thoughts with genuine curiosity. I started noticing this when I started asking more questions. It also became clear to be how few people do this to others. Then I started noticing that people I enjoy being around often ask me what I think or why. Most of us are so focused on what we think and want that I wonder why anyone would want to talk to us.
