    Sure, if you ignore all of human history it sounds like nightmare capitalism.

      Your argument is really “we did it before, so it’s fine”? We did a ton of things before that aren’t ok. Historical usage of a thing doesn’t make it ok.

        No. Children working existed before capitalism, you’re grasping straws coming up with that conclusion of what I said.

      You mean all of human history when we had things like slavery and women as property? Yeah, we should keep doing that stuff too, right?

        No, you’re making up things to be angry at. Children working existed before capitalism.

            Once again, you misinterpreted. I simply restated my point.

              Your point is irrelevant. We all know children working existed before capitalism. No one suggested it didn’t.

                Sorry, why should a middle schooler be doing physical labor? This sounds like nightmare capitalism.

                That kinda implies capitalism is the cause, no? Or will you just completely ignore that and continue to misinterpret my comments.

                  …no? That’s why the word “nightmare” is there. If it were solely being blamed on capitalism, they’d just say “that sounds like typical capitalism”.

                  It’s like the “toxic masculinity” argument all over again. No, saying “blue coat” does not mean all coats are blue.

                    Okay brother. If you’re going to be pedantic I’ll just stop here.

      All of human history before capitalism? That makes no sense. How could you have a nightmare form of capitalism before it even existed? Get it together, dude.

      We live in capitalism. Therefore, making life worse makes this a worse version of capitalism. Get it now?
