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

PsycrowThis shit right here is why I never took most leftist subs seriously. There is nothing more painfully ironic than to see posts complaining about capitalism get bombarded with gold and stickers.
BloonfaceGotta 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.
hihusioyour argument makes sense if you're talking about food or shelter or any essentials. but luxuries are a choice and reddit gold is about as non essential as it gets.
minnieoi had a ton of coins left from being awarded a ton like 2 yrs ago, so i spent them on awards to make protest posts stand out ¯_(ツ)_/¯
