I think the problem is that you don't realize how bad the situation is, given the state of science today (which is pretty good, to be honest).
I don't care about capitalism. I'd say I care about living in peace and having food. Where we are going now, I am not sure I will have that.
I don't support living worse lives, I actually support living a better life. But I still have quite a few years to live (hopefully), and with most people thinking like you, it seems like my life will gradually get worse.
