The article is actually decently well written good-faith satire meant to address how poverty and hunger are inherent to capitalism as a system. The title was just too bold lol

    yes. the irony is lost on you. it is… called satire. the author is making fun of the ridiculous state of the world by describing it as though it were normal, thus provoking outrage in the reader upon realizing that it is not.

    also i’m not the person you replied to. and even if that person was an asshole, being an asshole would not make them a conservative.

    you are just on a roll today, aren’t you?

      I think “describing it as if it were normal” only helps the people who support this arrangement because it gets normalized. That’s where the accusation of conservatism came from, that and the way they tried to shut me down with insults.

      Edit: given that there are likely to be a lot of people that agree with this argument unironically, doesn’t it seem irresponsible to play some game where you pretend like you support it? Without ever coming out against it at the end?

      Really, it’s just naked approval, with any disapproval left as an exercise to be performed by the reader.
