discourse about what words are flattening for anti-capitalist discussion is dumb and i don't really wanna perpetuate it. here's what i'll say instead:
education works best when you meet people where they're at. as in, further understanding they already have of the world and correct misconception. capitalism, inherently, principally must produce suffering to benefit a few. that suffering comes in a lot of forms. when it comes to people Posting On The Internet, they've self-selected for certain types to be near-ubiquitous
app broke and bad now. why app broke and bad now?
'Capitalism Has Ruined The Internet' or 'Enshittification' may be a shallow take, but that very shallowness allows those unsure about this whole anti-cap thing to wade into discussion without drowning.
of those people who start their questioning of capitalism with 'big tech isn't as good as i thought', some will inevitably stop caring once an explanation is good enough. 'oh this was just always going to happen, whatever then.'
but some people will keep searching. some people won't be satisfied until they realize capitalism was never accounting for them in any sense but transactional. until then, those people are gonna post about how patreon doesn't work anymore because of some force they don't yet understand. and that's fine, we all start somewhere.
i posted shitty sonic 1 let's plays to youtube as a child. i learned and made better stuff eventually. as i can hope for us all.
