And in reality, fuck capitalism. But we don’t need it in every thread. It’s exhausting. And the tankies brand is way more “fuck the US” than “fuck capitalism.” They are just violent, often weirdly bigoted, and poorly informed.
And I mean yes, but it’s a nuanced conversation. Capitalism is off the rails and a lot of people are being hurt by that, but getting things back on the rails isn’t as simple as “just don’t do capitalism” or “do socialism.”
It definitely doesn’t need to be in every thread like you said, because trying to have those repeated nuanced conversations is just exhausting.
