    They’re just going to move the goalposts on you again. Capitalism lovers seem to think that if it doesn’t immediately work 100% right away, then it’s trash. They provide nothing of substance while criticizing even the smallest attempts towards actual progress. “Capitalism works for me and allows me to buy pointless shit while dying for nothing, therefore no one should even try.”

      I’ve seen this a lot with many Western Leftists as well, they tend to reserve the harshest criticism for Leftist movements, rather than liberal movements. Not all, of course, but many.

      Right on the nose.
