You didn’t raise your pitchfork high enough and yell loud enough so the extremists in the group are attacking you for being a traitor to their group even tho you’re on the same side. Happens in any political group on any side whether dictator antifa whatever. If your outward appearance isn’t 100% For, they forcefully Align you until they are comfortable with you. Notice how you are now trying to adjust your words to be acceptable. I’ve seen it everywhere and still find it annoying so at this point i just block. Anyway, human nature; it isn’t always enjoyable.
Haha. Thanks for that. I think you’re 100 % correct. I think the block function is definitely the right solution to it. I’m going to do that right now for the individual who was being dumb.
Again, thanks. Your comment definitely summed up this whole scenario.
So for the record, I did not want to argue anything about capitalism. I know it’s bad, I don’t agree with it, it’s terrible. It’s just that late-stage is where it’s currently at. I in no way support any sort of capitalism. That’s it.
Please don’t assume what I didn’t say, I am not “clinging to” anything.
Sorry, but it’s just upsetting when someone takes what you say out of proportion to fit their own point of view or whatever.

Literally just asking you to clarify, and get you to think critically about why you phrase things the way you did.
If you don’t want either to happen, try doing them yourself first.
Edit to add: As for the actual point: all capitalism is bad, by only framing late stage capitalism as a problem (which is what you do when you take the time to come back and diferenciate it in a comment about capitalism being bad), you make it seem as if “regular” capitalism is fine, and that all we need to do is roll back to those good old days before it started impacting you.
You had it right the first time, and yet you took the time to come back and “correct” yourself, so you obviously thought it was an important enough distinction to make, when all it does it normalise “regular” capitalism, which is entirely self defeating, and why I’ve even bothered trying to get you to think critically about your comment instead of just disregarding you as a capitalism bootlicker.
Don’t want to think critically? That’s your choice. But at least take responsability for your own words.
Capitalism as a whole.
Edit: at least late-stage, or whatever is going on in the US.
2nd edit: For those of you who are commenting on my “views”. I do not endorse capitalism in any way. I think everyone would be better off without it.
Capitalism = bad, hopefully that clears up the confusion.

Why the edit? What are you clinging on to?
Nothing really. Just wanted to make sure people knew I was referring to late-stage capitalism. (I’m also not from the US).
I’ll ask you again - what are you clinging to? Why do you have to specify? Why do you think “regular” capitalism is worth defending?
