Reply to comment by DavetheHick in Eli5 why was lead added to so many products before it was discovered to be toxic? by thhbeard
So, explain how explain a historical fact about industry knowing lead is toxic and using it anyways is anti-capitalist?
Or, is it true in your mind that saying "nicotine is addictive" is an anti-capitalist statement, too? Or that cigarettes cause cancer? Or that there are documents proving that the oil industry knew about climate change and did nothing?
Is it possible that these things be true, and also the people say them aren't anti-capitalist? Is pointing out a lack of accountability "anti" at all?
