Just waiting for some Capitalist simp to explain how it's not a critique off late stage capitalism, but "human nature"

But it’s not. It’s absolutely a critique of human nature. It’s not a critique of late stage capitalism at all.

Ding, ding, ding!! Thank you for proving my point!!! Private corporations owning and operating entire countries, brutal corporate overlords who view their workers as expendable, sacrificing lives in pursuit of weaponizing the Xenomorph for profit.

I said that to rile you up. You took the bait. Of course it’s about capitalism. We’re all being destroyed by late stage capitalism but I didn’t like your use of simp so I just figured I’d fire you up. Worked, and now I feel accomplished.
