Insidious systems

Culture builds around systems, not the other way around. Once the game’s rules are set, we create a culture to reinforce them. Once we pull back the curtain and see that systems work overtime to nudge us in directions and spaces we don’t want to go, we can see the insidious parts. Capitalism is more than an economic structure. It’s a political one. And it is also a system of extraction. Once you see it, it’s impossible to unsee it.
