        Nobody called anyone a terrorist. OP identified an economic ideology as terrorism.

        And yeah, it’s middle-school-cringe-level edginess to simp for capitalism by telling someone else to move to a different country. Especially when that particular line of fallacious thinking was debunked decades ago.

        If you’re feeling targeted by that comment calling out capitalism, that’s your deal; you’re free to be a capitalism fanboy, but just know that the billionaires will never love you back.

          You are saying it as if it was a real suggestion. It was an attempt at equally ridiculous comment as calling our entire economic model terrorism.

              I am not avoiding it, I am dismissing it. I am not getting roped into a serious discussion about something this dumb.

                To be clear: “something this dumb,” in this case, means an unimportant little issue like someone being evicted and made homeless due to circumstances beyond their control.

                Just so we’re on the same page, you think that it’s not worth talking about how the system could be changed to protect people from predation like this. Not even that you’re against it, just that it’s completely beneath you.

                  I am dismissing the comment I originally replied to, not the article, and I am pretty sure you realize that. So why provoke me with accusations like this? Do you think it somehow makes you look better?
