    Okay, if you want to be exceedingly pedantic and call me on using “standard of living” in place of its hypernym “quality of life”, then by all means. I’m glad your 15-second glance at Wikipedia has enlightened you that one of the main concepts in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (which measures things like access to social services, food, clothing, etc.) is filthy capitalist propaganda; I meant quality of life.

    Edit: If I had to add to the list, it’d be animal agriculture destroying the environment and torturing and murdering billions of sentient, emotional creatures across the world (let alone commercial fishing) for superfluous human enjoyment. Something you statistically take part in for no good reason, although I’m proud of you if you don’t.
