Actually I looked up the real story of Johnny Appleseed and he was more about making hard cider and selling land. 🙃

    Ah but you see, their comment has the message of “capitalism bad”, so it doesn’t really matter if what they wrote is true.

      I’d go even further and say that this is more generic than capitalism/anticapitalism wish fulfillment. It’s a desire to speak truth to power but without any of the effort or sincere curiosity to learn what that truth is. To have that truth condensed onto a smaller and smaller spoon until you don’t even realize you’re being spoonfed at all is the ideal.
