    You weren’t replying to the meme, you were replying to someone else in the origin of this fork of the comment chain. I’m implying that you in particular have no nuance.

      Well, you’re not wrong, but what I replied to (“don’t know what capitalism is” and “are rent seekers”) wasn’t exactly filled with nuance, either.

        Fair enough, but again, you somehow had even less nuance and pulled the classic bit of feigning superiority.

        Edit: oof, you unironically suggest Sowell in another comment as a good resource. Looks like I’m correct, the superiority was indeed completely unfounded.

          Instead of berating him for not leaving a robust enough comment for your taste, why don’t you ask for more information? Calling capitalists uninformed or rent seekers is way more unfair than alluding to historical or economic evidence to the contrary. The latter clearly leaves itself more open to good faith discourse, getting nothing out of it has simply been a failure on your part

            The very first thing they said was “what history? What economics?” - so yeah, they’ve asked for information.
