When I was a mouthy teenager, my mom used to call this "It's easy to shit when your butt is full".
Sounds better in Slovenian. It's the same idea as The Man in The Arena – it's easy to have opinions when all your needs are met. If you really believe in what you're saying, get in the trenches and start doing the work.

If you really believe capitalism is bad, why don't you leave Tech, sell off all your equity/stocks, and go live in a commune somewhere? hmmmm
