“Infinite growth” is still the thing that blows my mind. Like, dude: the idea of infinity is that its not possible to attain and is more helpful in explaining concepts. Capitalism treats infinite as if its something that can actually need attained, and then they just blow through all resources to get there.
It’s a lot easier to think of “growth” as their religious mantra. In actuality, most of them aren’t looking to grow forever, but rather to pawn their business off to a different idiot. It’s honestly really cool how most of the Western world’s economies operate on “bigger sucker” syndrome, where you’re constantly looking for a bigger idiot than you who is willing to pay more for your asset than you paid for it yourself.
