It's all pretty dystopian. I hope you don't expect me to defend globalism/capitalism.

Too many people--each with infinite greed and desires. Most of them would probably behave just as badly or probably even worse than the current batch in power if they somehow switched places.

Part of the problem is despite all its problems, all the other systems have an even worse record. So I don't think the root cause here is capitalism or even globalism. It's human nature.

Human nature hasn't changed. Technology is the problem - we couldn't sustain so many people and do significant damage without it.
