Observing humans in capitalism and assuming greed is just human nature is like observing humans on the Titanic and assuming drowning is human nature.
It's just rejecting your responsibility in the way you behave. "It's not me, it's the nature"
Anyone ever commenting "human nature" should be forced to explain how: (a) some behavior is an inevitable result of brain physiology, and, (b) why examples of people who don't exhibit that behavior exist. The absence of those explanations disprove like 95%+ of "human nature" arguments. Like, "oh, religion is human nature, we must believe in a higher power because we crave meaning" - which part of the brain mandates that thought, and why do atheists and agnostics exist then?
