This guy is so staunch in his toxic capitalism at the cost of everything that he didn’t even stop to consider that this may be a joke.

Because it's not a joke to Phoenixz. He's just got the boot so far down his throat there's no alternative. Reading his comment, it sounds like one of those people who owns a job not a business, and/or one of those people who thinks he's now in the 1%s good graces now that he makes $100k/yr.

Somebody makes a valid argument and well, since we don't know how to respond, we'll just call it toxic capitalism.

Capitalism has issues, some severe, that can and must be fixed. Fee people will disagree there. You, however, are the type that actually believes that Communism is great and will solve all of our problems. Writing, probably, from your phone without realizing that that same phone is in your hands because of capitalism (ands butt loads of science, also supported by capitalism), just like the pants on your butt and the food in your belly and the medicine that has or will save your life.

You want capitalism to support a strong social system that gives you all the perks like free healthcare, free education, maybe even universal income.
