in capitalism, not only the workers are 'replaceable'.
the 'bad' capitalist, by competition, or something like natural selection, is also 'replaceable'.
the CEO that does not make shareholder value is removed.
the capitalist that does not accumulate wealth, has less wealth, and thus less influence.
a million dollars is easily spent in charity, but invested into industry it perpetuates itself indefinitely.
it is only by pushing that collapse button that people remain wealthy in the first place.
capitalism can only do sustainability when it becomes more profitable than all the alternatives.

the price of oil must be raised, the oil industry must be destroyed by artillery fire, that is the crux of the matter.
it is not enough to shut down your own wells, this only increases the profits and causes expansion of wells that continue to operate.
under capitalism, it literally has to be artillery fire.
countries need to stop fucking around, nobody wants war, invasion, or bombing of cities.
every oil well is an existential threat to all besides its owners. the ethical thing to do it is artillery fire on all the oil infrastructure, everywhere.
the rational country will not retaliate against civilians, there is nothing to gain, it will only destroy the oil wells that give others unfair advantage.
