This response makes logical sense, but it deepens my hatred of capitalism. Activists who oppose losing their human rights to a proto-fascist governor are silenced by a company because they're getting in the way of profits, the number one priority for any company or individual. Morally terrible.

Yes, I suppose I do sound like a "woke moralist".

I don't think you really hate capitalism. You hate people on the other side of your beliefs.

I think capitalism is whats keeping the tenuous peace right now.

Afterall the market research shows roughly 50% of americans think Desantis is on the right track. If that's the case half the country thinks you are a "fascist" or "villian". Without capitalism, you'd probably be living in an America that would have been far more to the right.

I consider myself a socialist. I'm not sure what capitalism has to do with keeping the peace though, or what it has to do with DeSantis (who follows early patterns of fascism MUCH more closely)
