Also because people come together during major crises.
And unfortunately, it does not look like we’ll be able to get rid of capitalism (and more importantly capitalists) without either a mass uprising or a devastating catastrophe (like total ecological collapse).
Currently we’re about to reach the latter, which I don’t think is preferable, but perhaps it’ll turn out well in the end. I sure hope so.

I really hoped that the recent plague would bring people together/weed out the bad apples, but the terrible people only got stronger/more insane and everyone else was forced apart.

Also because people come together during major crises. Since COVID I no longer believe this. Where I live, people immediately started hoarding essentials, threw low-paid retail workers under the bus, refused to follow even the most basic precautions to keep others safe (and had full-blow childish meltdowns and screamed in the faces of anyone who tried to ask them to comply), overwhelmed the healthcare system unnecessarily, burned down cell phone towers etc. Just a complete orgy of idiotic fuckery right from the start.
