The truth about capitalism is not oppression but the highest living standards our species has ever known. Kids should learn about that

That capitalism is responsible for planetary destruction and other environmental harm is also nonsense. In addition to longer and better lives, capitalism has delivered a high degree of environmental cleanliness. Mass production of the automobile cleaned cities by ridding streets of horses and disease-attracting horse manure. Vacuum cleaners, dishwashers, air fresheners, washers and driers, ventilation systems, disinfecting wipes — the virtually unlimited products that make our immediate environments cleaner are today all affordable and widely available because of capitalism.

before vacuum cleaners you just had hard floors and you swept and mopped them. air fresheners existed before capitalism it was called hanging herbs in your home to dry and also fresh flowers and having a garden. people washed and dried clothes all throughout human history. we have cars AND human shit in our streets. i have natural a natural diswasher... my hands.

also disinfecting wipes dont disinfect. to disinfect you need to use a solution, like that in a wipe, and wet the area and keep it wet for like 30 seconds to a minute. people dont do this. they wipe the thing with a quick swipe and move along, doing virtually nothing to disinfect it and just exposing themselves to dangerous chemicals. thanks capitalism
