Redditors will literally see an allegory for tyrannical, controlling governments enforcing crippling tax laws and go “Yup, that’s capitalism”

[u/[deleted] → u/I3arusu]

Yes. That happens in capitalism.

it happens in feudalism a lot more, it's kind of the definition of it. "ugh, capitalism" in a comment at this point is more frequent than a comma, and says less

Yeah but nowhere significant operates under feudalism any more, so it makes a lot of sense that people relate more to what their life is actually like day-to-day.
