People rant and rave about government and corporations; about capitalism and socialism, but it's weird to me that people almost universally take sides. They are symbiotic, and their flaws are pretty much shared. You have any large organization and nobody has much influence over it; it mainly acts to preserve itself, and can cause all sorts of bad consequences. Criticizing government or capitalism makes it sound like there is some alternative, but it never quite comes into focus for me. Maybe it's because I can imagine going back to pre-modern times? Or, I should say, being left behind as one of the vast majority not suited to them.
