The point is that this has nothing to do with capitalism. Education has been abused in this manner by every society on the planet, and if anything modern "capitalist" democracies have a historically large amount of academic freedom. If my roommate was like "wow you cishet men sure hate washing dishes" and I say, "but these are Tammy's dishes" is that really whataboutism?

Someone on Lemmy posts this same comment in every fucking thread. I am far from a fan of predatory capitalism, but it's just annoying when every thread is call and response: "DAE hate the color green?" "Capitalism in a nutshell."
