No talking on the quiet carriage. No boom box on the subway. No conversation in the queue.

Is this capitalist isolation or is this western “decorum” or what? Why do I have to shake off the instinct to cringe when I hear someone playing music through their phone speakers? Why do I worry if anyone can hear my music through my headphones? What the fuck is this pathetic silence masquerading as a “culture”

    capitalism didn't create the notion of personal space

    plus what the hell does the profit motive have to do with thinking you have the right to be blasting your music on speakers in the bus?

      This is such a Reddit-ass response that I don't even know where to start.

          Other comrades in this thread have the patience for baby socialists, but I don't. There's more important work to be done than explaining basic oppressive forces present in capitalism.
