Capitalismbad is a grating topic, but if you insist, please keep it to /politicalmemes.
1: Capitalism IS bad and much more grating itself than people pointing that out
2: who died and made you Czar of Memes?
Breathing is also bad; it slowly oxidizes your body and causes you to age.
But if you genuinely want to make a case that breathing is truly hate-worthy, you need to present an alternative; something that has a proven, trustworthy track record that still sustains life. As of yet, I haven’t heard one for capitalism.
But, oh, maybe that debate isn’t what you want in memes. Hence, move it to /politicalmemes.
"Capitalism is exactly like breathing" is certainly a take.. 🤦

Life is political kid. Get use to it
I’m happy to debate politics. I’m happy to analyze why capitalismbad memes are so stupid and reductionist. The question is whether people are actually willing to engage with that conversation here (they’re not, the OP simply called me a bootlicker and left) and whether commenters/mods are willing to address the inevitable flame wars. (Place your votes, people)
If you stand by ALL of that as being important here specifically, go ahead. Otherwise, there’s a reason people decide to split those topics out.
