>Reject Capitalism? Starve to death on the streets.

What's "rejecting capitalism?" You can't blow up the NYSE, but most everything else is fair game. Your employer isn't going to care if you reject capitalism so long as you get your work done. If you don't want to work under a capitalist, you can join join or start your own cooperative. If you can't do that, you can be an independent contractor. If you don't have the motivation to do that, you can fall back on the charity of others.

>Like look at Elon Musk - his whole deal is proving that there are no bad consequences to doing whatever he wants

Musk got ousted as board chair at at Tesla, and was forced to buy Twitter at a very overpriced valuation.

I am sorry, if you 'reject capitaliam' but have to check if 'your employer' cares, and pay 'your landlord' and go to the same grocery store, what exactly have you rejected?

Based on what you're describing "reject capitalism" is just edgier phrasing for "not respecting property rights" (ie. expecting your employer to give you money for nothing, or for your landlord to house you for free).

I'm not the person to ask, but plenty of people claim to reject capitalism and participate in society like Rage Against the Machine.

Simple example - bhuddist monks, they don't take part in capitalism, they do their own thing.

Would you be allowed to build a monastery on top of a random mountain in America today? Clearly not. Force will be used to remove you.

So you portrailyal of 'anything short of terrorism is fair game' is totally inaccurate - the only way you are allowed to reject capitalism by selling tickets to a concert where you just talk shit.

You could always move to a communist country. However internet communists always get real quiet when you suggest that.
