@ambiguous_yelp @JessTheUnstill you're attacking a person who you agree with about like 99% of stuff and in the end neither of you have energy left to fight the rich.
We absolutely cant fight capitalism if we're going to replicate its structures on an interpersonal level, the best we can hope for in that sitution is a substition of the capitalist class for some other ruling class. We need to be principally and absolutely against exploitation of all forms otherwise it will keep popping up over and over in new forms. This is why I'm an intersecionalist and believe in Total Liberation and its why I don't believe in excusing participation in exploitative systems in any way. Is it hard or impossible in some cases to remove yourself from these systems? Yes. Does that mean investments in stocks should get a blanket pass because it can facilitate class mobility to the Petty Bourgeoisie? no.
