Trade isn't the same thing as capitalism, to be fair. Socialist countries also exist.

Then we explain it to them until they get it. It's not hard to explain that capitalists are those who own capital, and liberals are those that support capitalism.

That's why terms like liberal are useful.

I bet he would.

Whether or not someone considers what they do to be art doesn't excuse choosing not to clarify your tone when requested, just like you can't just go around using slurs and excuse it by saying your words are art.

It isn't exempt, and moreover some art is unfriendly to neurodivergent people. Certainly you can understand the difference between watching a movie and talking to someone, right?

No, revolution. Canadians don't support capitalism because they are stupid, but because Canada is an imperialist country and as such a large portion are bribed by the spoils of imperialism.

Have you spoken to neurodivergent people about this? I won't pretend to speak for them, but the idea that tone should be clarified upon request is something I've seen in neurodivergent communities. It harms nobody, if clarifying ruins the joke then the joke wasn't actually funny to begin with.

We can move beyond capitalism and into socialism, several countries already do that.

They do, sure. They also are able to know that what they are consuming is literature and art, and not a random user being deliberately obtuse.

There's a pretty big difference between literature and art, and online comments.

Sarcasm doesn't need to decieve, it needs to make a point IMO.
