    This is just a thought terminating cliche that capitalists have developed now that the problems with the system are undeniable. It’s the classic retort of the scum bag, after they’ve realized “I didn’t do it” won’t fly, to say “well, everyone does it!"

      No. I’m not minimizing the role capitalism has, I’m reminding people that as long as they participate in any capacity in capitalism that they are causing harm. Look at the replies to my post. They verify what I said. People will go to great lengths to separate themselves from fault.
