I'm a very nuts-and-bolts kinda guy and this morning I'm struck VIVIDLY by just how weird that is

Like I read so many threads on here that go, like,

🐰 I have a problem affecting me
🦆🐇🐴🐢🐀 40 post discussion
🐹 The actual problem is capitalism AND THAT'S THE END OF THE THREAD

And like, 🐹 isn't even wrong, the root of the problem often is capitalism (or, if you want to talk about problems like this to normal people, you can just say "greed"), but I've seen this said about the wildest fucking things and as soon as it's brought up it's like a safety valve for deflating any enthusiasm or action towards actually fixing this specific problem
