    Who is arguing that it’s possible to buy their way out of capitalism? You or the other person? I’m honestly confused by the all caps. Also, maybe chill a bit?

      The other person says “you CAN’T buy your way out of problems caused by capitalism”, I’m arguing you can, and that pretending you can’t is a scapegoat for lazy consumers. They’re destroying my planet for their own convenience, whilst taking the high ground of “but an oil company once tried to suggest consumers were to blame”. Consumers literally buy the product.

      And tone policing is cringe, who tf cares if I use capitals??

        I mentioned the all caps as context for my confusion. I didn’t tell you not to use them.
