It's a position destined to be slandered as misanthropy, ironically by many of those who aspire to 'radical thought' & who seem to be tasked with maintaining the assumption that this is not a legitimate ethical stance to take.

I genuinely don't understand why anticapitalism seems coherent to people at all. I don't want to say 'you're all delusional' because even engaging seems like a dead end - It must be something I am forever incapable of grasping ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Leftists suffer from an inferiority complex and deem anything that is strong and successful as "bad", such as capitalism, individualism, America, and so on

Everything goes away, eventually. Capitalism has been around about 300 years, give or take. With degradation of the environment & depletion of natural resources, it could easily collapse into desperate, fascist-style collectives fighting for survival.
