Is capitalism and all this consumerist culture actually sustainable? You may say that climate change is a hoax, but you can't deny that capitalism has nothing to do with shit like pic related.
Will we ever reach the point when we'll need to strictly restrain from consumption?

Capitalism caused that liter? Fascinating. So if we were communist or say a dictatorship this wouldn't happen? What even is your conception of capitalism? You realize that people are consumers by nature?

I know that capitalism doesn't do that itself, but it's the modern economy that relies on consumption and growth, isn't it? Imagine if all the poor African countries would be as wealthy as the first world.
I need a red pill on this question though

The worst polluters on the world have traditionally been communist dictatorships.

I fail to see how a garbage removal problem is the result of economic policy. Maybe if everyone was richer we wouldn't polite as much? You realize that capitalism is by design the only successful model to make the largest number of people rich. So what exactly is your question/complaint

>The patch is not easily visible, because it consists of very small pieces that are almost invisible to the naked eye.[8] Most of its contents are suspended beneath the surface of the ocean,[9] and the relatively low density of the plastic debris is, according to one scientific study, 5.1 kilograms per square kilometer of ocean area (5.1 mg/m2).[10]
