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?
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.
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.

We don’t have downvotes on our instance. When we disagree or think a comment adds nothing, we tend to respond.
That’s why you got so many answers, which you describe as “dogpiling”. If you want to defend your position, responding to only one of those is perfectly fine.
Also for fuck’s sake:
I don’t think I even encountered this much toxicity on reddit, this is ridiculous
Nobody was toxic with you in this thread, nothing beyond being a bit harsh-toned. Reddit is far much worse. Again, probably you felt like that because of the sheer amount of answers you got.
The other day, I hate a post that said something about China/Tiananmen Square, and had so many comments complaining
Got a link ? because I suspect the comments in answer to you were not just “complaining” but were also argued and provided information.
Basically everything around you is not there by happenstance but because of hundreds of years a very specific economic arrangement of society. You would be hard pressed to find anything touched by humans in the last 200 years that doesn’t have capitalist contradictions embedded into it
Eh, I agree with the general point and would like a better system but can we talk about other things ffs. The general atmosphere on here is so negative.

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

What is your magnificent enlightened centrist point, besides STOP TALKING ABOUT THE SYSTEM THAT AFFECTS THE ENTIRE PLANET WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH?
If you answer at least try to address the point

Crazy, you’re describing exactly what you did

If you act like a clown, people will come to see the circus. 🤡
Looking at your comment history: you are a troll

Some of them were “well argued” some were just stating their opinion without facts. One guy said “death to America” which I found pretty funny
You responded to my completely anodyne comment with an insult and you’re still crying like you’re a victim
When you’re running interference for capitalism by concern trolling, everything you say makes you look like a fucking clown. 🤡
Good or bad it’s everywhere and has its fingers in everything.
The number of people who still don’t understand that absolutely everything is politics and economics is, quite frankly, astounding.
They don’t feel the politics until they do, and that’s when it becomes politics.
We understand, we just don’t want to talk about it all the fuckin time
You may not care about class struggle, but class struggle has a keen interest in you.
Capitalism is a function of everything that happens in a capitalist society
Basically everything around you is not there by happenstance but because of hundreds of years a very specific economic arrangement of society. You would be hard pressed to find anything touched by humans in the last 200 years that doesn’t have capitalist contradictions embedded into it
You don’t have to run interference for “not all capitalism” every 3 seconds, lib.
Eh, I agree with the general point and would like a better system but can we talk about other things ffs. The general atmosphere on here is so negative.
If only we were more “nonpolitical” to fit your arbitrary and nebulous standards, we would seem more positive!
Did you like product? I liked product! Product was epic! Are you looking forward to next product?
Counterpoint: using the word “circlejerk” to disparage points we’d rather ignore is a really annoying thing to do.
