But I was told that capitalism checks itself using something called “market forces”.

Turns out "market forces" was just the heavy metal poisoning talking, they were just hallucinating magical economics.

Lead in gasoline and household products really fucked with some generations, hard.

Imagine a war against an enemy with known lead poisoning.

That would probably be an easy win

They poisoned themselves with shit from pet stores and farm supplies. They sent death threats to the guy who told them not to inject bleach.
Individually, they may be easy to beat, but as a group they are worse than a zombie apocalypse
