capitalist Stockholm syndrome.

That infused with the idea that anything that isn’t capitalism is socialism (which might as well be communism). It’s like we’re afraid to leave our abusive financial system.

You are, and that's by design, as the core of your country from the education right down to the media and pop culture, all revolve around the financial system, designed to keep the wealth in the pockets of the few while everyone else argues over the same pointless and divisive issues that are pushed every single day. It happens in most countries, but the US is the best example due to how transparent it all is.
