You think THAT'S patronizing? Then check THIS out:

Capitalism incentivizes greed ≠ greed doesn't exist outside of capitalism.

pats on head and speaks very slowly

Do you understand now or do you want me to get out the puppets?

I could explain my point, but I can tell you're more interested in role-playing as a daycare worker, so I won't interrupt your fun.

No need. There's literally no possible meaning of "don't say greed doesn't exist outside of capitalism" (when nobody has claimed anything of the sort) that is a good point rather than a ridiculous strawman, so best skip it.
