   @iro_miya @Paradox he won't understand why pure capitalism is bad until he's on the receiving end of things.

     @Paradox@raru.re He seems to believe that capitalism is mostly fair and doesn't really care about inequality

     @iro_miya
     What exactly does he like about capitalism? How does he feel about community?

     Gah my younger brother has become such a rightist. It actually makes me sad, because I've looked up to him for most of my life. He's really impressive and gifted, but god damn he has some awful takes.
     
     He's not like, directly fascist, but he's adamently defending capitalism. This is something I have a lot of trouble arguing against. I don't know what to tell him to show that capitalism sucks and we should at least try to help our community somewhat, he seems incapable of understanding my point. (Low-key, I wish I brought someone with me who had the same political views)
