How can someone actually argue that capitalism is a bad thing?

An anecdotal example is better than no support whatsoever. Crying "survivorship bias!" doesn't invalidate anything, it just casts the statement into a different light. Simply stating a term, like a logical fallacy or something else, doesn't mean anything. It's like seeing a nail and saying "hammer!" You're misusing rhetorical devices.

I really don't understand how people can just state a logical fallacy and then oh boy you win you smarty, you. Except that's just a red herring. Which makes a circular argument. Which ultimately makes you a fedora-tipper, and what's worse, you haven't proven anything /wrong/, just that a statement might be slightly invalidated in a certain way.

Oh wait, it's because it's not truth that matters, but what can be argued. And winning the argument is the Most Important Thing.

So the fact that I got ahead in life a little bit doesn't make me entitled, it just means that I got a bit lucky and worked hard. Have fun feeling inferior to your own ideas of what people are, I'm sure it'll get you really far in life.
