Deep down, nobody want's to close the door to the opportunities for self-enrichment presented by capitalism.
imagine being so brainwashed to not even be able to conceive of a system that provides better opportunities for self enrichment than the one where majority of the population serves a small capital owning class ๐คก
Given the baseline adult education of the USA being about Grade 6 equivalent, 54% in a recent article, so more than half, I'd say the clowns are winning. Brainwashed, sure, it takes wisdom to understand the manipulatuon. Mosr people want the money, willing to demean themselves and enslave others for the opportunity. It's a brutal world out in reality. Send in the clowns. Nice emoji kid.
In 1450 there were faux-world weary peasants intoning solemnly about the natural and immutable nature of monarchy. Know that you are part of a long and useless tradition, and spare us the glimpse into your sterilized imagination.

How wretched for you
