Yeah, there's a reason why there's such a massive resistance to things like public transit and universal healthcare; it's because desperate plebs are easier to abuse. Someone dependent on their employer-provided health insurance will be less likely to step out of line when their access to important stuff like insulin is threatened.
China has implemented a state capitalist economy and like most Marxist-Leninist projects, it seems to have stalled at that stage, so I would say that the commentary applies.

Eh, they just posted (and then immediately reposted after it was removed) a mildly antagonistic comment. Like I said, the user in question seems like they want a comm that serves a different purpose than what we're going for, then they came back next day in a separate thread to continue derailing/arguing about it instead of just making peace with the fact that the comm isn't going to be what they want and looking elsewhere. It's just annoying gray area behavior that's taking focus away from the actual content. I would heavily encourage users not to do stuff like that. I don't think that it makes for a good experience to click on an interesting thread expecting discussion/jokes/memes relevant to the topic and all the comments are just that shit instead.
Yeah, it's definitely amusing to witness.
That little monarch really needs to stop appropriating our aesthetic to justify such nonsense.
Honestly, the fashion industry in general is one of the more blatant examples of the shallow, conspicuous consumer culture that capitalism fosters. It encourages people to define themselves by the products that they buy and is often used to signal social status. People pay top dollar to get brand name products (which of course usually has the brand logo plastered on it): literally paying money to advertise a company's product for them. I've also been told before that clothing is a massive pain in the ass to produce, so fast fashion having serious ethical problems would not be surprising.
Glad you liked it!

Well to be blunt, based on the interactions with you thus far, I don't think that this comm is what you're looking for and that you're not going to be a good fit for what we're going for here, so I would recommend that you find a different one to participate in.
Edit: since you decided to be cringe instead of amicably taking the suggestion, I'm just going to ban you.
Well, you're free to your opinion on that one.
What kind of cooling methods specifically should be implemented here?
Nah, this is the right community for this article. climateandcapitalism is an ecosocialist publication and mitigating climate disaster is a key policy goal for most socialists, so it is important for us to observe the consequences of climate change and think about effective solutions for various communities.
Can't come soon enough. I'm stuck in connector hell over here with USB-A, USB-C, and Micro-USB.

Yeah I know. The first sentence should have made it clear that I was commenting on the fashion industry at large in that particular portion of the comment.
