That’s a bit of a low-resolution phrase.

Of course it obviously was a product of it’s time - but it did push the boundaries as far as it could, and had to fight for some basic scenes.

Unlike many other “products of their time” that didn’t even try and move the needle for positive representation.

Capitalism is to blame for my downvotes 😭

I looked it up. They aren’t skyrocketing.

The numbers dropped due to lockdown, then bounced up and are stable.

I hate this cult of negativity - just make up how everything is getting worse in order to hand more power to the government.

The casual and bovine l way it all happen is disgusting.

What do you you mean “who brought up communism”

The implication that there would be some alternative system that would somehow invent cloud computing and Uber and streaming, but somehow just not raise prices this year?

No other system would have created this, so blaming the cost on capitalism is absurd.

Clearly the market is working exactly as if should do because Über and Lyft are constrained by the same realities as taxis.

It’s like blaming capitalism for stepping on a Lego.

The whole line of reasoning is utterly absurd.

Capitalism is bad because you have to pay more for Disney?

The fuck?

Advertising is mental pollution. Opening your window to teams of people with PhDs in lying and manipulating you to just say whatever the hell they want.

“hey Google, remember we have eggs”

“OK, I’ll remember that”

“hey Google what have I asked you to remember?”

“here’s what you asked me to remember;

One, we have eggs.

Two, asking for your blood”

WTF?

Yes you have an item called “eggs” with a value of zero.

How the fuck has everyone so easily allowed so few tech companies to dominate?

Yeah that’s hardly a game changer.

I agree. But the discussion was shit-posting, not racist jokes, or am I missing something?

Alternatively, the people who are so brittle that shit-posting causes them to somehow turn on half of the community were always going to volatile puritans.
