    Focusing on a a salacious and improbable event downplays the real “evils” of capitalism

    That’s the thing. These events are not just “salacious and improbable”. These events are actually happening in front of our eyes and they need to be taken seriously. These events are happening as a direct result of capitalism, and not calling it out will just allow the right to set the narrative on those issues.

      I agree - corporations killing people 1) does happen and 2) is bad. But in this case, it didn’t happen. I mean… You cant just go around making stuff up. If evidence comes out or is discovered later that shows different, then I will change my mind. That is scientific thinking. Because I don’t have an angle.
