I dont know how people can get so upset about this.

I think it's the old Absurdism vs. Idealism conflict: the former embraces the absurdity of life and focuses on the things we can do to enjoy it, while the latter pursues ideals and gets appropriately upset at a reality that falls short. Realism spoils both sports by taking reality seriously on one hand, on the other compromising grand ideals for short-term measures to deal with reality as it is.

Most people sit somewhere in between, because we don't have the time or energy to devote to philosophical purity, too busy paying bills to pay attention.

And Capitalism laughs its way to the bank.
