> Until a person does this, their words are meaningless.

Heavily disagree! The author actually did a lot of meaningful work for less than meaningful money, so they did put their money where their mouth was. They made a lot of effort of disentangling as much as possible from a system they, like many others, see as amoral and corrupt. Sure, realizing capitalism is rotten is often accompanied by having the financial means to shun it, but it's an achievement nonetheless.

> But it seems like nobody is willing to truly sin against the capitalist god with proper repentance

The proper repentance against the capitalist god is to get as much money you can out of the system, and then use it in various anti-capitalism measures: like establishing communes, unions, doing pro-bono work, etc etc. Which the author thought about, did, and discussed at length.
