I don’t hate capitalism, it’s better than feudalism, and the human race’s attempts at communism have failed so spectacularly descending into absolute tyranny and corruption putting the sins of capitalism to shame. I also don’t hate women, or feminism, there are some women I hate, but it’s an individual judgement.
Capitalism is feudalism with rule by grace of money instead of grace of god. Don’t confuse it with having a market economy, especially a well-regulated one: Capitalism is when there’s unbridled capital accumulation, unbridled accumulation of economical and political power. Capitalism is when the 0.1% exist and, in the broader sense, capitalism is that set of memes which infect the majority to put up with that nonsense.
I think the point is that unbridled capitalism is creating increasing wealth inequality that many straight, white men are feeling but aren’t accurately attributing to their being on the losing end of wealth inequality. This could be ameliorated with any number of policies in a capitalist system, such as a more progressive tax code, better labor protections, or universal healthcare, but the US employs none of these, and straight, white men are largely blaming women, immigrants, and LGBTQ people instead of the class of people keeping them poor.

Capitalism is that abusive boyfriend that keeps bringing up your super abusive ex so you know how lucky you are to have him.

Found the stockholm syndrome victim.
Complete BS. There are socialist countries currently doing just fine.
Which ones and please don’t name a nation with a stock exchange.
For example? Also socialism != communism
If you think communism put capitalisms sins to shame then you don’t know what capitalism has done.

It’s not just the US that is feeling this.
Yes, but this article is about the US specifically. There’s also a global right-wing propaganda machine contributing to this problem
Fair.
How is capitalism different?
It’s not you’re just biased.
