Strongarm?

with a quote that "admits" this, but not exactly.
Messy way to explain it.

Meh. Any one of those (cept maybe strongarm) by themselves isn't remarkable. Together, it's reasonable to wonder about anti-capitalism (exploit the poor?) undertones, if you're senstive to that kind of thing. Calling that reaction a "knee-jerk sensationalist review" seems over-the-top to me.
- equality_1138 5y agoNot disagreeing whether the author hints at some bias with these choice of words, but to interpret this as "anti-capitalist" is absolutely over-the-top. In fact it shows a clear lack of understanding about markets.
