most people don't care about sides. they just care about money.
and rightfully so. your theory or political stance can't buy you food or a car or other basic necessities.
Caring about money is taking a side though
nobody doesn't care about money. anyone who says they don't is a liar and are usually the people who are the most easily bought.
You must care about money in a capitalist world, of course; the real question is do you want money to matter all the time or not
it doesn't matter what you want, society dictates the rules.
unless you go off the grid or something. then you can go make your perfect society, because there won't be one.
Society isn't fate. It doesn't come out of nothing. Accepting/keeping the status quo is accepting the balance that exists, and it's been going right for a dong time.
It's not just about what you can or can't do, it's about where you're pushing to
