I'm gonna be honest with you chief, I can't take seriously a "protest" that keeps paying the same people it's protesting against

Gotta say I have no love for the big leftist subs but that's a pretty cheap shot.
Their choosing to purchase luxuries, in a world where luxuries must be paid for in a system they didn't design, choose or want to live under, doesn't negate that they are opposed to capitalism.
If you want to argue that they're possibly a bit too sanguine about the prospect of their favourite luxuries existing under communism or whatever, fair enough. But that's a separate argument from whether they're stupid to pay money for stuff that makes them happy.
...who is forcing them to buy Reddit coins? lol
Nobody. But they want to have Reddit coins to reward people who do things they like. So they have to pay for them to satisfy that want.
They might also pay for pizza, beer and cinema tickets too. Same difference.
I just wish they could satisfy that want by spending that money on poor people instead of rich people. Donate to a charity instead of buying emojis.
