This makes me really said.
Fun fact: only one of those items is made up.
If you ask linguists, then "old as fuck" only dates back to the 14th century.
Oh, this system is definitely doing what it's designed to do, but "capitalism" nominally is this fair competition among equal players where the market decides which ideas and products rise to the top based on merit and whatnot. This would, however, require a level playing field which goes out of the window the moment the strongest player on the market uses their power not to provide the best products and services, but instead uses their power to solidify their top position by legal or illegal means or in ways they make legal by lobbying, bribing and otherwise convincing the legislative. The moment the biggest corporations secure themselves the cooperation of the political parties for one-sided tax cuts, bailouts, deregulation of limits and massive regulation in favour of the corporations' goals, that is the moment where we've left this impossible ideal of capitalism far behind.
But yes, the monopolies reigning from the corpse of the capitalist idea while telling you that capitalism is alive and well have worked hard to shape the status quo to what it is and they are definitely pretending that this abomination perfectly encapsulates the unreachable purity of the perfectly fair notion of "capitalism" every chance they get.
Tha's a nice adblawck ya got there. Be a shame if... it suddenly stopped working, doncha think?
Trump's always been banking on everybody giving him the benefit of the doubt, and they do, but he thinks it's because he's so very clever that he's tricking his opponents with his thinly veiled veneer of plausible deniability. In actuality they just do it because he's rich.
"We want our dictator for... what are the good words again?"
"You mean freedom and democracy?"
"Yeah, whatever, for those!"
It may be the most successful example of indoctrination of parts of the populace of a supposedly developed nation by the ruling class though.
and evils of anything other than capitalism
*other than WHAT THEY CALL capitalism
They look at monopolies where the market leader buys laws, lobbies for protection and muscles competition out of the game unhindered and then they decry anybody calling it out as communists or socialists or the devil or whatever other bad word is en vogue that day.
Honestly, I'd be just as fine with him running with his tail between his legs. Tells you all you need to know either way.
The head?
