   Person really starts off their reply with "I distrust anyone who claims to have the One True Definition of Capitalism..."

   So what exactly brought you to my door then? Sounds like we're not gonna be friends.

     @AnarchoNinaWrites "I distrust anybody who has actually done the reading, because it's way more important for me to be able to feel as though I can contribute to this conversation" seems like a reasonable translation

     @stripey yeah I guess that's the best way to parse it. I still don't understand why they felt the need to type that out given my response was always gonna be "what? fuck off; I'm ignoring you now."

     @AnarchoNinaWrites some folks haven't learned to consider what they've written before they hit "post"
     Or they've learned that even shit takes get "engagement", and haven't sorted out what all of that actually means for them when you strip away ad revenue.

     Either way, it sucks.

     @stripey Naw this was definitely "I'm way smarter than you; now let's talk."

     @stripey "I distrust anyone who claims to have the One True Definition of Capitalism when it's clear even experts disagree, but I think moving the conversation forward requires trying to understand the historical roots of that disagreement."

     This was the full reply. Lol.

     @AnarchoNinaWrites I mean, that's still a really smoothbrain thing to say. The person is just working hard to make the statement *sound* plausibly-intelligent.
