True. What the image should say is Capitalism is hell for autistic people. And non-autistic people. And all other people. Capitalism is really only not hell for those born wealthy.

Yea, because non-free-markets don't require people to get along?

No, but the difference is you don't have the threat of starvation and homelessness if you can't do it.

Absolutely. Capitalism categorizes all people as 'useful' and 'useless', the former really being 'exploitably productive'.

Lots of folks with tons to offer the world are shunted off to the side because what they can offer isn't valued by capital. Either that, or their challenges are perceived as too substantial for the accumulationists to bother to see what accommodations could be made.

But why bother when humans-go-in-money-comes-out is the depth of all thinking and concern? It's not the company's job to care that people are starving three houses over! Why don't they just get a job—
