Since I guess everything is political these days, I'll identify as extremely liberal but without a home in US politics.
Mainly, there's so much misinformation out there that people in society have trouble even organizing into coherent political groupings. So I'd rather not talk about politics but instead focus on information and education. Nothing else matters until the bedrock of fact is buttressed.
But... people are always going to be wrong on the internet, as the saying goes.
So: Old man yells at clouds is a famous joke from The Simpsons, and it probably fairly describes what we do when venting on social media.
Just speaking into the void, since I figure it's an exercise in futility to conduct discussions on these platforms.

@fleeky they shared what they had, right? They put what they had toward the uses they saw best?
That IS capitalism.
People on this platform had capital that they wanted to devote toward this use, so they did. This is a triumph of capitalism! That people were able to share these resources they had brought together is capitalism at work.
@IanDSmith I don't know why you think it's a struggle.
It seems like the guy has pretty much confessed, so there's no struggle at all. There's just the question about why he doesn't proudly own what he did.
Why fight it? Proudly say, yes, I did this because I thought it was the right thing to do, if that's his stance.
