    “Corporations are bad because they’re greedy” doesn’t read like materialism to me, but maybe you’ve read different theory. Or am I reading that wrong? Are you saying that, actually, you’re just done with materialism as a concept?

    Because uh.

    Or maybe you’ve never read anything, because you’re too smart to waste your time reading other people’s thoughts. 🫸

      Not to me either, but “profiteering equals overproduction and so does regulatory capture” sure does.

      Or maybe you’ve never read anything

      Yeah, because that’s the ONLY way to disagree with your reductionist theory: to not be aware of it 🙄

        inflates own ego by calling things an “oversimplified 19th century framework of false dichotomies”

        never explains what they are even talking about

        explanation of the current American crisis is simply “greed”, no further analysis or thought

        claims to be the intellectual and logical superior in this dialogue

        You can’t make this shit up, folks

        You’re definitely too smart to waste your time reading reductionist theories! You only read real theory, like… what, exactly?
