minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down1·1 year agoYou mean all of human history when we had things like slavery and women as property? Yeah, we should keep doing that stuff too, right?
minus-squareSuperSleuthlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·1 year agoNo, you’re making up things to be angry at. Children working existed before capitalism.
minus-squareirmoz@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoAnd who suggested it didn’t? Oh yeah. No one.
minus-squareSuperSleuthlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·1 year agoOnce again, you misinterpreted. I simply restated my point.
minus-squareirmoz@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoYour point is irrelevant. We all know children working existed before capitalism. No one suggested it didn’t.
minus-squareSuperSleuthlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·1 year ago 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.
minus-squareirmoz@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·1 year ago…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.
minus-squareSuperSleuthlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·1 year agoOkay brother. If you’re going to be pedantic I’ll just stop here.
minus-squareirmoz@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 year agoYou call that pedantic? That’s a pretty major detail to ignore, dude. Sounds to me like you just saw the word “capitalism” in a negative light and abandoned all reason. If you can’t figure out how adjectives work, go back to English class.
