I mean, I think you and I agree on the post, see the comment I made where I responded to the OOP and you said “lmao ikr.” I’m not in any way defending Thief (who is a cowardly asshole and completely wrong here) or this instance that I’ve never heard of, I’m just saying that the specific argument AnBol posted [as-presented] is a detrimental one because, as socialists, we should be very concerned with promoting systemic critique because we are opposed to the standing system and this argument is ceding too much ground to the liberals by acting like their society is good on a systemic level.
Oh god dammit the philosophy nerds are here. I knew this post was gonna bring you mfers out.

Oh, please pardon me then, my mistake. Sometimes there are people who say things like that somewhat more earnestly.
