You've made this way more complicated than it needs to be: "I'm tired of hearing about something ... STOP MAKING THAT NOISE!"
Try to imagine someone on Hacker News who followed your every comment. Should you complain about something, they mention that this is the result of a world which has turned away from Christ, or has not embraced TimeCube, whatever. Just over and over again. You'd get sick of it, right? That's how I feel about the squawk of "capitalism has failed us." It's not much more complicated than "Your probable alternate wasn't that great, either."
- mindslight 5y agoIt appears "way more complicated than it needs to be", because I'm a second person with my own perspective, and I don't agree that your being bored of the argument constitutes a logical rebuttal. As I said, if you're bored of the topic, you didn't and don't need to engage with it. Starting an argument and then supporting it with your own disinterest is a very odd tack. Furthermore you keep referencing this "probable alternative" bogeyman while completely ignoring that my criticism is coming from a place of reform rather than wholesale replacement. It's likely everything sounds like "squawking" to you because you're not listening to the specifics of what anyone says. It's very odd that you want to engage with the topic just enough to reject it. It takes all types, I guess.

- mindslight 5y agoYou're equating hearing similar criticisms from many different people, in the form of message board comments, to a single individual following you around and sonically assaulting you? Respectfully, you may want to see a psychologist.
