    Mate, I don’t know or care about the other guy’s insults, but don’t you think unspecifically attributing the word to the US’s terribly managed economy is getting cringe and worse muddying the water. I’ve seen a super posh actress who’s famous for being posh (nobility on both sides of the family) complain (in character) about it on a trailer for a major movie coming out soon.

    Not to say criticism is cringe, but while I might be wrong, something seems to be missing.

      Thank you for commenting.

      I’m not US based. Perhaps I have a way of using capitalism that rubs some people the wrong way. Not my intention, but I brought it up. So it’s on me.

      I see capitalism as a state of affairs. I live under it as other peoples at other times lived under a different set of conditions. I’m not trying to pick up a fight.
