Capitalism just borrowed the whole “lazy” sham from previous systems of control. “Sloth” was one of the seven deadly sins over a millenium before capitalism became anything like it is in modern times. And the church for sure used it as a weapon to shame serfs into working themselves to death for the benefit of their particular lord.

I suppose you could say capitalism was too lazy to come up with something more original.

Also, I don’t know why you’re getting downvotes.
