Ugh, capitalism
I love the bit where they just attack the idea of someone saying "Ugh, capitalism" and perform character assassinations (on people they seem to respect?) rather than actually discuss issues in the world. Like yeah, virtue signalling exists. See the companies that ask to work with LGBTQIA+ people specifically in the month of June and no other. We know it happens. You're doing the exact thing you're currently complaining about.
"Y'all can't quote the exact policies that are causing issues" - says the dude who complains about everyone in Brooklyn having 'Ugh capitalism' in their tinder bios. I thought we were talking real issues here? Hard hitting policy that needs to be changed, not horny men using a tactic.
Awful article really.
There's tons of theory out there that addresses that point. Maybe read some.
It’s as if “Capitalism” wrote that article.
That's certainly a way you can describe something.
Recuperation would be a better description.
