    “You don’t hate women and feminism. You hate capitalism.”

    As if misogyny is a new thing that came along with capitalism. Women have been second-class citizens for most of recorded history. While they’re still not on par with men, if anything it has improved in the modern, capitalist world.

    “It is always capitalism’s fault”

    Despite the nazis being fascists, somehow it’s not their fault, it’s actually capitalism that’s at fault.

    Lemmy search isn’t very good, but I’ve replied to a bunch of Lemmy posts over the last while where the argument is basically that capitalism is the worst possible system. They seem to be unaware of just how brutal and awful life was under Manorialism / Feudalism. They seem to equate every modern ill with capitalism, even when it’s something that was 1000x worse under say fascism.
