Counterpoint: pointing out the source of the problem is always relevant.

Counter-counterpoint: Capitalism isnt the source of every problem and sometimes there isnt even a problem.

Who said it's the source of every problem?

Cato_the_podasist did. The OP of this thread said that this post has nothing to do with capitalism and that we should therefore stop talking about it here. Cato_the_podasist argued against that saying that pointing out the source of the problem is always relevant, THEREBY IMPLYING that pointing out capitalism is always relevant (because capitalism doesnt have anything to do with this post specifically) so if its relevant here, then were is it not relevant?

That's implying that capitalism is the source of this problem, not every problem. Consider what they're saying.

(What I meant is: Capitalism is not relevant here. Maybe sometimes it is the root of the problem but not in every case (and certainly not in this one).
