While things like “space billboards” would be a good thing to talk about when it comes to anti-capitalism, it’s also a little too obvious for it be primary area of focus.

Possibly. But I've got to tell you that this is a big deal, this and things like it, and shows a far greater overlap of interest for most people.

Definitely beats the "the CIA is just making up lies about glorious China and the Uyghur region!" I find elsewhere.

Basically, “space billboards are bad” is too narrow an idea to focus on if we want to convince people to become socialist.

If you say so. I guess when your enemy makes mistakes, you should quit pointing those out. And when I say "you", I mean me.

Nah you should definitely point out space billboards, but pointing them out isn't enough to formulate a useful political program, basically. And you shouldn't point it out at the expense of the more "micro"-horrors of capital.
