The problem is he doesn't walk the walk. His success comes from capitalism. He's very well off because of capitalism.
So you can only critique capitalism if you're unsuccessful? That doesn't make any sense.
Sure you can. It's just that it comes across a whole lot less hypocritical coming from someone who hasn't first exploited that system themselves.
Why would someone talk about the pitfalls of a system while benefiting from that system?
What? I don't know if it's my age or what, but I can really tell when I'm interacting with someone younger than me.
Which country doesn't engage in that economic arrangement?
By choice or by circumstance? The rich profit from capitalism therefore they use their wealth to maintain the system that is benefiting them the most. The poor have to participate in varying degrees just to survive.
You think people choose to bust their asses for $8/hr?
You admit then that there is nowhere else in Europe for Yanis to have not participated in capitalism, unless he somehow miraculously managed to stop the dissolution of Russia and it's friends in the 90s.
Look, the only thing I'm getting from you is the realization that you should not play baseball. You're so focused on making your own point or trying to zing me that you're missing the point entirely. I'm not disparaging your intellect, which you clearly are trying to prove to me, an internet stranger, but your need to champion for this guy for ANY reason whatsoever is off-putting.
I'm championing nobody, I'm questioning your silly trumptard-tier statement that Yanis is successful because of capitalism. What on earth does that even mean? You can't level a charge of hypocrisy there when we all live in that system. Which was why I asked you which country doesn't engage with capitalism.
Guy is either delusional or a troll. Either way, too many terminally online morons on the Internet to tell
