       any of us could, at any moment, stop and walk away.From the poorest of the poor, to the worst of the ruling class.There are different things holding people back from doing this, but that doesn't change the fact that, at the most basic level and for most people, it's a possibility.Accept that it's a possibility, and think of the things you're doing as a choice in contrast to this possibility.What makes living your current life better than walking into the woods?

       @Anarkat To take a possibly-rhetorical question literally, as I often do:Air conditioning / heating, refrigeration,  low-effort plumbing, dry storage space, always-on electricity, and various protections from humans and other animals.I think that covers about 95% of it.

       @woozle true. It's a good exercise to remind people that all the things that we rely on in society aren't necessarily only accessible via capitalism. Taken individually, all of those things are solvable problems.It then comes down to solving those problems.
