Capitalism happens to reward this kind of behaviour but it doesn’t “cause” it.

Capitalism absolutely pushes people into these behaviors in the same way that being born and raised in Israel pushes people into becoming genocidal nazis. People are products of their environment, and the core feature of capitalism is that it must continue expanding until it controls every aspect of the environment.

Edit: ML users don’t seem to have a concept of nuanced political discussion.

“Nuance” is not a code word for “you people just don’t understand that I’m right”
