      Your point is irrelevant. We all know children working existed before capitalism. No one suggested it didn’t.

        Sorry, why should a middle schooler be doing physical labor? This sounds like nightmare capitalism.

        That kinda implies capitalism is the cause, no? Or will you just completely ignore that and continue to misinterpret my comments.

          …no? That’s why the word “nightmare” is there. If it were solely being blamed on capitalism, they’d just say “that sounds like typical capitalism”.

          It’s like the “toxic masculinity” argument all over again. No, saying “blue coat” does not mean all coats are blue.

              You call that pedantic? That’s a pretty major detail to ignore, dude. Sounds to me like you just saw the word “capitalism” in a negative light and abandoned all reason. If you can’t figure out how adjectives work, go back to English class.
