Capitalism; Why is it thought of so highly?

I try to be a positive person. That attitude doesn’t fit this site at all. Sorry to have bothered you all.

Don't criticize systems or consider criticism of systems because of anesthetic positivity? Just shut up and be happy?

I don't think many would disagree with your sentiment. The thread ended up being a discussion on how people think of the word.

Get on with your bad self.

I'm starting to understand why so many here at HORT seem to get defensive when trying to talk about this subject. The concept of capitalism seems to be part of people's perception of themselves and their personality as oppised to a blanket term of a whole range of governmental policies.

Easy enough to understand I think. Several generations including mine went through cold war patriotic education

The 80's did a number on us as a unit. Good thing all that silliness is in the past right...right?

Jesus, all you guys do is complain and criticize every damn thing.
Get out and enjoy your life for crying out loud.

Many are on a quest to make everybody feel as shitty as they do about being alive.

it’s why many seemed their happiest during SIP. “Now everybody is sitting at home like a loser, like I have been doing my entire life”.
