This might be exhaustion talking but they act like it's all a video game and they don't impact the real world much. Now they're realizing slowly how they messed up. Idk it's all frustrating and just done
This is it. Capitalists don't see the world as materially existing, but rather as set of obscure rules to be exploited for their benefit, much in the way min/maxers, power gamers, speedrunners, or glitch hunters view a video game. (This is not a condemnation of the latter at all.)
it's like at this point they don't even see a connection between the workers, their labor, and the profits and are just going through the motions of capital because reasons
