Then leave out the unnecessary "but other systems are bad too" whataboutism 🤷🏻

Do those systems have pants? Then I think they’re bad, too.

Again, that's not the point.

With the possible exception of fundamentalist anarcho-primitism, all systems tend to involve pants one way or the other.

That DOESN'T preclude you from criticizing the system currently ruining the world more than any other without a whataboutism caveat.

I’ve long ago come to terms with the fact that I will never be truly happy.

But I’m not going to pretend I like pants.

That part's fair, I guess 🤷🏻
