>ANON, HOW CAN YOU OPPOSE CAPITALISM WHEN STILL YOU USE A COMPUTER?
Oh yes.
You can get used to being around people who don't realize when they've made a category error or even care what a category error is, but people incapable of basic dialectical reasoning are like permanent dark holes on your radar, floating listlessly and polluting all the beauty in the world

>category error

Can you explain what this is anon senpai? The computer is inseparable from capitalism like a library is inseparable from a university?

No, that's tu quoque. Owning a computer is a seemingly hypocritical action that doesn't invalidate the argument.
Category errors are when you ascribe something of category A a trait that can properly only describe something of category B. It's common in colloquial language, i.e. "my computer's being stubborn" and so inserts itself somewhat more insidiously into various arguments.
