    Most people don't know what capitalism is and therefore cannot assign blame to it.

      Capitalism is when trade, therefore always existed. Private property is my toothbrush. People have no clue what Capitalism is and they have no clue what the alternatives actually are.

        Basically why people go insane and become Sovereign Citizens.

        At some base level, they understand that this is all bullshit. But they'll buy into this theory that there's One Neat Trick to navigate your way out of a miserable existence.

        So rather than understanding capitalism as this all encompassing ideological system of captive human labor, they adopt this Cheat Code mentality where anyone sufficiently educated and savvy can win by tapping in the right combo.

      Even among those that understand what capitalism is and even why it's bad there's a sizable faction who think it's the best thing we've ever tried or can try.
