Take Your Kids Out to the Park and Leave Them There

Narcissism is largely caused by egotism and greed. The two common psychological outcomes in a a capitalist society. If you drive a society on worthless paper and stuff nobody needs, you get greed and egotism. Which will ultimately lead to narcissism. It's a very logical mental response. And that's why capitalism doesn't work.

Children used to be outgoing. I used to be one of em' in the earlier years. Now they're all hardcore capitalists. Facebook zombies, taking their bullshit everywhere they go. Isolated in their own little world, slowly draining away behind their computer screen. I once again blame capitalism for destroying the new generation.
