>You cannot simply "ignore" market forces

Market forces aren't real. They are artificial arbitrary rules agreed upon by a majority of participants in a financial system.

They are not natural laws like Newton's law of universal gravitation and the fact that even one person thinks they are is the greatest scam ever pulled on humanity.

Humanity will never be free until it rids itself of economists and MBAs.

They're as real as any other aspect of human nature. There are no "artificial rules", just humans acting according to normal human behavior. Ignore that at your peril.

There are uncountably many examples of humans, presumably normal, existing outside of the rules set by free market capitalism and not collapsing into a black hole.

One such example is the Indigenous peoples of Australia, who lived for tens of thousands more years than the concept of free market capitalism has existed, without even the concept of money or property beyond what one carried on their person.

I have to assume that they are "normal" humans.

Even today many aboriginals struggle with "tHe NaTuRaL LaWz of tEh MaRkEt JuSt LiKe GrAvItY BrAh TrUsT Me BrAHHHHH" because they've only been exposed to them for less than 0.3% of their culture's total existence.

There are examples, today, right now, this very minute, in (extremely northern) Europe of presumably normal humans who look at the rules you consider to be "natural" with shock and horror.

A cult has convinced you that their ideology is natural law. You can both participate in this system and realize that it is all bullshit and not be a hypocrite.
