    They are insanely profitable.

    The fuck do you mean, “they ignore the profit incentive?” Like it’s not true capitalism unless they reject everything besides money money more money all the money only money matters.

    People point out that what they’re doing is plainly capitalism, and you repeatedly counter, they are “crawling despite capitalism.” What does that fucking mean? What are you trying to say, if not this?

    I feel I’ve been clear in establishing, it’s still capitalism, even when it’s not maximally evil. No zealotry is required, to point out, they are absolutely doing shit for profit, even if that doesn’t mean setting puppies on fire to fuel the torment nexus for the biggest profit you can imagine. Capitalism that’s less awful than the worst examples still counts - unlike what the root comment treats as inseparable from the premise.

      Capitalisms motivator is Profit

      So when they are not doing everything in their Power to make a Profit, that is not true capitalism.

      You cannot Just ignore the core aspect of capitalism and still claim it to be capitalism.

      What the fuck is capitalism supposed to be then?

      Capitalism is when Money?

      Capitalism ist when trade?

      Or the hilarious capitalism is when freedom?

        So it’s not capitalism?

              I never said anything about it being a counter example to capitalism. So please do not pretend like I said that.

              Unfortunately i cannot make it blink in Red or make it Take on the taste of hamburgers. I dont know what an American needs to auccessfully decipher a sentanced that doesnt corralte to its programming… And to be quite honest i give up.

              When you repeat yourself the, what? Third or fourth time? It is clearly an issue of differing cognitive Processing, that i am not qualified to synchronize.

                Right, it’s not a counter example to capitalism, we just cannot ignore the core aspect of capitalism and still claim it to be capitalism.

                If a business does not do literally everything possible to make number go up, that’s not true Scotsman, I mean capitalism. How could private ownership and wage labor and charging a premium for other studios’ work be capitalism, and also how dare you say I claim it’s not capitalism?

                I am reading the words you write.

                Are you?
