If the person you replied to just died today, virtually nothing would change about global capitalism. Also, what kind of ethics do you subscribe to that validates your reasoning? I can't imagine your definition of responsibility being useful at all except as an excuse to tell people to stop complaining about the flaws of a system far too large to be at all under their influence except collectively.
Granted that we have collective responsibility for human activity, then only by collective action can we assume stewardship of our responsibilities. The basis of collective action is first consensus, which is achieved through communication. Therefore the grandparent is taking a perfectly rational action in communicating their distaste for the system.
I feel second-hand embarrassment for your combative and flimsy dismissal.
