    Eh, well, despite the narrative that protestors are lazy and wealthy, most of us take a loss to get the day off to protest. Freezing my over-drawn account is not the worst thing to happen to me. By all means, make capitalism impossible, we’ll just be forced to barter and trade.

      Just want to point out that they are adding friction to commerce or making it “impossible” as you say for some people, but that isn’t making capitalism impossible. Corporate Authoritarianism is basically the logical outcome of capitalism and we are there now.

      Too many people conflate capitalism with commerce. You can totally have a different system and still have a similar type of commerce that we know today.
