Capitalism ubiquitously recuperates human-produced value—from our private data, and the hours of our working life, to the water we drink, and the air we breathe—and this is the nit you pick? This is the "psychopathic abomination"?

Forgive me for thinking you've bigger fish to fry.

That being said, of this is the straw that breaks the camel's back for you; get on with your bad self.

You can think more than one thing is terrible. It's not like you have only one mental slot for life and you have to select it very carefully or fail as a human being.

For me, it's a question of scale. When many "terrible things" are rooted in the same cause, it behooves us to recognize and address that upstream phenomenon.

The hours in a day are, as it happens, zero sum. It's cliché, but we must pick our battles. Leaf nodes are ill-advised opponents.
