Sorry, this is a bit hard for me to parse.

Are you saying capitalists sell us shiny new things so that we always crave the newest and best even if old and boring can be better?

so itis not a bit hard to understand after all,

but you ?conveniently? left-out the extremely important part- “are sold to the people, by owners that are reckless & Capitalist mindset of endless need for more, SICKNESS-“
It is important to include what these Capitalist are, that is another sales job, making them out to be good & sane people.
