Imagine telling a starving and freezing mother who can't afford to keep their electricity on with two kids in 2023 that they should shut up about how capitalism isn't helping them because 200 years ago things were worse.
It's so utterly detached from anyone's actual current lives. It does jack shit for them and they should not be surprised when everyone that is seeing deteriorating conditions under capitalism turns leftwards when this is the response they get from liberals.
It's the statistical equivalent of sneering in their faces.
I wonder how they would react to get the same treatment. Next time they go "Well ackshually we need to fund billionaires and pump more weapons into Ukraine!" Try and tell them about how corporate profits have exploded compared to 500 years ago and how the Ukrainian arme have more stuff that goes boom today than ever before.
