A man can hate two things.
Capitalism comes from people who are capitalists.
People are a product of the system they live under. We can look at the collapse of USSR as a concrete example here. All the same people who used to be productive members of society under the Soviet system became oligarchs once niches for exploitation opened up after the transition to capitalism. It's a systemic problem, not an individual one. That's what she's saying when she says you hate the material conditions.
And cake comes from people who are bakers. My feelings about cake are largely separate from my feelings about bakers
Ummm no they're not. If the cake is bad who do you blame ?? The cake or the baker ??
I'm not actually a fan of cake. There are some bakers I'm pretty into though.
I hate those TikTok hand gestures
"Hate the capitalist system, not the capitalist"
I honestly thought I was looking at commie jesus in that picture on my phone.
I mean, sure. But also, I hate people too.
Can't comment on either, but I do hate that piano-falling-down-the-stairs background music.
I hate people who try to tell me how I feel like they know better than me.
Nobody is immune to propaganda
No, that’s not why I don’t like people.
