'infinite growth'. Yes. Capitalism is dependent on this. OVERPOPULATION is promoted by the Capitalists.
'subsidize'. The Key Word. Lobbyists want their particular industry 'favored' by the Government.
'seeks profit'. Yes. Capitalism/The Shareholders ... seek profit. The 'Have-Nots' work hand-to-mouth to survive.
I watched the Video. Seemed like he was happily complaining about the condition he was born into. But ... offered NO SOLUTIONS.

First mistake. Capitalism does not rely on infinite growth. It does rely on growth, but too much growth is as bad for it as too little. The question he doesn't answer here is, What is the alternative to that and why is it better?
Then he talks about government subsidies. What system relies the least on these? Which relies the most? Government subsidies are not capitalist per se, but rather a variant of Socialism called Statist Capitalism.
Capitalism also is not "sociopathic." It is not driven entirely by profit motive but in big part by market forces. Supply and demand drive prices as much as anything. If nobody's buying your product, it doesn't matter what you price it at. Thus, having a market and buyers drives Capitalism, not profit. Profit is a result of demand and supply.

This guy is apparently not aware of the massive amount of agriculture subsidies we push on things like milk. There would be no milk waste if we didn't subsidize it. So, it's not capitalism that is the problem in his example. Agricultural subsidies are.
Industries that do not get subsidized only produce what they can sell. If they produce waste, they adjust to produce less, or they find new consumers to sell to.
Yeah. That was my take-away. 'Subsidized' industries. Down here in Louisiana it's 'Sugar'.

In capitalism, they do what Ford did. Ford was making his cars mostly from wood. There was a lot of wood waste material left over from that. He started making charcoal briquettes from the wood--You know the brand--Kingsford. He found a use for the waste product and turned it into a profit center. That's Capitalism.
