I chose to express it like that by design. My contention is that capitalism is, in fact, or at the very least de facto, a system of morality. It promotes wealth as an indicator of higher moral stature. It has superseded rule of democracy, as wealth has been assigned itself as a metric by which the efficacy of individual civil participation is measured and the path of society determined.
In other words, money equals power, and possessing money/power is indicative of a higher moral. Echoes of medieval times…

Capitalism isn’t a system of morality. Or at least it isn’t supposed to be.
The fact that people think more money = moral is one of the largest problems in the world right now.
I’m pretty sure it was sarcastic.
all hail the paper which ruins literally every single fucking thing. the paper has spoken.

Cows and chickens are doing pretty well in terms of raw numbers.
