The absolute shortest way I can explain it is I was literally in corporate boardrooms and seeing how the pursuit of short term profit at all costs, and how easily peoples' lives were thrown away while the CEO would be tooling around online for a couple hours decide what plane to buy next. There's a lot more to it but that's the most succinct way I can explain it.
For me, I noticed how the immigrant warehouse employees I worked with were treated significantly worse than the office employees despite the warehouse workers being the ones doing... everything?
My first exposure to any sort of theory was David Graeber's Bullshit Jobs and it really did put me to thinking what the point of the CEO/owner was. Him or his failson that headed accounting.
Can you elaborate on your 5 minutes in the real world? What did you witness? What changed your mind?
