Humans caused capitalism.

Sure, but a lot of other humans didn't. Can't much write off an entire species because we failed to prevent an outlier from gaining power for a little while.

Also can't much attribute all the complexities of both wars to just "capitalism" either. That was my point.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes you can? Capitalism was very much at the root of the conflict. It can accurately be reduced to capitalism. You can elaborate and provide further detail to how it happened, but that doesn't change the big picture.

Of course you can over-simplify everything. You can do whatever you want!

There is a difference between simplifying and oversimplifying. Just like there is a difference between nuance and losing the forest for the trees.
