We've gone well beyond the advantages of capitalism and now we're just parasites really.

Please tell me that you're female and single.
This is exactly my thoughts, exactly. Except the people who should survive include me and other like-minded people. I have these same thoughts every day and I'm petrified at what the ultimate outcome of them will be. the fear of society as it is today coming crumbling down.
I know that this all feels un-natural, that billions of people everyday getting up and going to work just to make money to build a house made from natural resources that we are quickly running out of is wrong. They won't stop for nothing. We shouldn't be taking so much from the planet.
I blame the bankers, they keep on reducing the value of the dollar and forcing everyone to continue to work. You shouldn't have to work for 40 hours or more a week just to keep alive let alone stay indoors inside of a house, or continue to pay land rates on land that you've bought, or be forced to continue to pay for utilities when you're already off the grid.
I know that when it does collapse those people are going to be very angry, at someone, and they'll take it out on anyone who is near them.
Human beings have been living inside of caves for thousands of years and in this tiny little blip in history we're currently being forced into slavery just to keep breathing and eating and staying dry. That is wrong.
Its not that difficult to build a house, I did it when I was 14 years old, sure it looks like a rudimentary treehouse and it leaks and has drafts but at least I can keep working on it and improve it myself without having to pay someone else to do it. At least it has no taxes, no utility bills, no taxmen.

And the food is then all around me. And the neighbours are like minded individuals living in tribal communities. No need for a car or a job 50km away. Your job is keeping your family alive, living off the land, or entertaining them.
Oh yeah and a toothbrush shouldn't cost $5, I don't care what the excuse is. That is a sure fire sign that we've screwed things up so badly that not even a pauper can brush his teeth.
But I still have some hope. Taken from Religion mostly. Its the only thing keeping me alive because at least I get to talk to the same people who know that I do good things and they praise me for that. It is good.
Society is just... stuffed. Time to load up the
