“That’s not ______, it’s just capitalism” has kinda dissolved into a thought-terminating cliché.
Like yes, corrupt systems operate within other larger corrupt systems, but contempt for specifics seems dangerous to me. If you want to fight something oppressive, seems worth trying to understand its machinery?
Take “Enshittification”: sure, it’s “just capitalism,” but it’s also a pretty specific manifestation, and so gave a lot of people a new way into thinking about the way capital moves.

Hey friends, @npub1xl7…ss7c's exceptionally good, concise primer on unionizing your tech workplace, You Deserve a Tech Union, is ALMOST HERE.
