If criticisms of capitalism want to be taken seriously, they need to expand beyond Tesla and Amazon.

Chevron, Exxon, and Blackwater love that you focus all your ire on an...electric car company.

How exactly will focusing on those companies instead ensure that criticisms of capitalism are taken seriously?

People ALSO focus on those. Even arch-neolib BIDEN calling out Exxon, however disingenuous that might be in his case.

Demanding that all of them are mentioned in every post or some sort of deranged forced parity of criticism on a post rightly criticizing one of them is worse than worthless. It's a harmful distraction and a whataboutism.
