You're all a bunch of cave dwelling idiots.

First off, Capitalism makes you think that if you aren't working, then you're worthless as a person. This is a very fucked up take and we tend to accept it as normal when it shouldn't be. Sure, people need to do things in order to secure food, clothing and shelter. But, that's not what's happening. We're working our collective asses off and veeeeeery few people see the results of OUR hard work. Working 40 hours a week and being unable to afford food, clothing and shelter in the most wealthy country in the world is fucking criminal.

So, no, you're not an asshole for trying to impart 'productiveness' as a personality trait into your children and other loved ones. But, you are if you do so going forward after being told now.

Both of you pipe down, we just finished a whole page of happy ice cream/cookie talk. Things are peaceful now, quit kicking up dust.

That wiki link has a lot of big words. Can you possibly summarize the history of capitalism in a format I'm more accustomed to consuming? A jolly meme, perhaps?

We were successfully bumping 10/10 OP and I leave for a half hour and now I can’t even discuss cookies while I take a shit on the clock.
