If you're right and you aren't willing to actually communicate why, or worse, if you're right and you don't even understand why, you might as well be wrong.

If you're going to argue with people on the internet, and I know you are, either go full irony or actually take time to work out an argument that you know is going to be persuasive, none of this halvsies shit.

I was on the edge of becoming a leftist for like six months. That's literally how long it took for me to even be exposed to the idea that capitalism is bad for inherent and structural reasons, and not because of all the really obvious shit that liberals also disagree with but think can be reformed away.

    Just hearing someone say Capitalism was the problem over and over again helped me a lot. And inaction on climate is what sealed it.

    These were also big for me. It was similarly helpful to read about ways things could be done better, or have been done better. It's easy to convince yourself that even if capitalism sucks it's still the best system there is -- that's capitalist realism for you.
