Critique of Capitalism and Its Impact
Capitalism is brain damage. It's an
unnatural system that has fucked with the
biology of our minds and our
prefrontal cortex,
which is where all of our humanity lives, like empathy,
self-control,
and high-level thinking. Before capitalism, the
priority of the humans was
safety of the tribe and safety of the
children. But when agriculture was developed,
it created a new priority,
property. We didn't care about safety of each other
anymore.
We cared about what was ours.
This mentality birthed capitalism, an economic
system oriented around ownership and profit.
Owning land led to owning animals, which led to
owning people, not just slaves or prisoners
of war, but also the women and the children.
Capitalism and patriarchy are
entwined. Both of these systems were developed
because of brain damage, but
also cause brain damage.
When society shifted the priority from family safety
to profit, this had a huge impact on how the
babies were being
parented. Infants were no longer cared for with the
same amount of tenderness and attention.
This trauma had a huge impact on the
brain and the behavior of the next generation, and it
affected the baby boys more because they have a smaller
prefrontal cortex, hence why the patriarchy is
and has been so brutal. This generation
of neglected babies that were sacrificed at the
altar of capitalism
embodied and internalized this devastating
shift. It damaged their brains and negatively
impacted their behavior, which created more trauma babies
with messed up brains and demented behavior, which created more
babies with messed up brains and demented behavior, which...
This is why our current society feels so demented,
because it is. Brain damage of the prefrontal
cortex created an influx of people who
lack empathy, and those same people created the
structures of society that are oppressing
us all. So what's the solution? We
collectively reprioritize the safety of each
other and the babies so they can be parented
with care. And fuck property, fuck
capitalism, and fuck the patriarchy
