The amount of times capitalism gets dragged into a thread that has nothing to do with economics or politics is, quite frankly, astounding.
edit: I get it, you are all replying the same thing. Point taken, capitalism has its hands in everything. My point: we don’t have to circlejerk about it every 3 seconds. I would rather not delete this comment, but why isn’t there a block notifications button on Lemmy?
There is a point at which conversation breaks down and everything you say is basically ignored because people on the internet make snap judgments about what you’re saying and filter it into the category of “agree” or “disagree” and then up/down vote accordingly. I don’t have time to go back and forth with people on the–fuck, I just responded
My sibling in Christ, you broke the conversation down,it didn’t magically happen. Someone responded in good faith and you were an asshole instead of continuing the conversation or offering literally anything of substance
Eh, maybe you’re right, but I was getting dogpiled and it gets old fast. Honestly, I think capitalism is a major problem and we can replace it with something better, but people on Lemmy are so fucking obnoxious about it that my patience wears thin. If you say anything remotely against that group think, you will get dogpiled. The other day, I had a post that said something about China/Tiananmen Square, and had so many comments complaining. I don’t think I even encountered this much toxicity on reddit, this is ridiculous. Hence the “you tankies” comment.
Which part of my comment implied you did? Seems like a poor choice to be calling other people thick skulled when you’ve just failed basic reading comprehension.

The number of people who still don’t understand that absolutely everything is politics and economics is, quite frankly, astounding.
We understand, we just don’t want to talk about it all the fuckin time
Capitalism is a function of everything that happens in a capitalist society
It’s almost like the economic mode of production touches and influences everything in our lives
You tankies have thick skulls. No one here is saying capitalism is good. That’s beside the point
If you answer at least try to address the point

Crazy, you’re describing exactly what you did
Good or bad it’s everywhere and has its fingers in everything.

Counterpoint: using the word “circlejerk” to disparage points we’d rather ignore is a really annoying thing to do.
