    It’s not that they suppirt oppression outright, just that they don’t care if it doesn’t affect them

    So they support oppression outright.
    “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor”

    (never mind that they openly support capitalism, and capitalism by design and necessity is oppressive, so either way, you’re not making the point you think you’re making, or worse, are being not even neutral in the face of "an"caps ambitions of oppression, but actively arguing in its defence)

      the point you think you’re making

      There’s a difference between wanting to opress people and wanting something that oppresses people for its other effects. The forner is unrelatable and outright evil, the latter is something most people do without even realizing it

      Intent to support and support in effect are separate things. You can do one without the other. When you conflate the two, it muddies the water (although it is still good to point out that accidentally supporting something is still support)
