Although I understand what the saying means, I hate this phrase so much. From observing on investing discussion groups, it tends to get used to justify the most amoral shit possible.
Capitalism doesn’t mean being an asshole. One can be a capitalist and also a decent human being. It’s an economic system not a moral one. Using it as an excuse for being a vile human being is just an easy out.

Awe does the capitalism you’re willingly participating in make you a little sad?
Really, the “yet you participate” argument? We live in a capitalist world, fuck am I supposed to do, let my kids live in the streets?
What everyone did before you sacrifice to make the world a better place for kids. Instead of fuck you got mine? Thoughts and prayers.
We reuse the right’s arguments amongst ourselves, now? What “fuck you I got mine” am I doing, and how do I “sacrifice” the very system we’re stuck in?
You need to practice reading comprehension. I’ll put this as simple as I can for you. “I’m making fun of republicans for saying those phrases.”

Hey look who doesn’t know what capitalism means.
