Someone is going to see this and downvote you because they saw you use the word "liberal" negatively and immediately think you're a right-winger or something.

But yeah, if the media outlets would understand that "the economy" (rich peoples yacht money) is based on garbage metrics, maybe they wouldn't act so offended when people call them out on it

This place has become more liberal recently. I don't love smug leftists who think being a socialist automatically makes you virtuous, but it is annoying to deal with people that aren't fully awake to reality. Capitalism is the problem, and while being scant on solutions and strategies is awful, not even seeing the problems is worse.

I just don't understand how some people think rejecting capitalism is going too far. Like it's bad, everyone knows it's destroying us, it takes nothing to admit it. Feels great to be anti-capitalist.

If you don't think capitalism is an evil system, you're not paying attention.
