        Close, except the alternating caps indicates sarcasm, my point was sincere.

          I’m the one being sarcastic. Not every bad thing in the world is capitalism. Besides, if you’re American you are under an oligarchy, not capitalism. If you’re in the EU or the like, congrats, you have capitalism with a mostly sane government and social safety nets.

            Then the whole thing should have been alternating caps, not just the part where you were fake-quoting me. The American oligarchy is a direct result of unfettered capitalism, they’re anything but mutually exclusive. Idk what else to blame when their argument was “it won’t make enough money”.
