    What is the deal with people making money off of bashing capitalism??

    Michael Moore and now this individual. These individuals constantly point fingers at the capitalist system, conveniently ignoring the fact that they themselves are reaping the benefits of it. It's infuriating to witness people who consume and believe this nonsense. Let's be clear, not every problem in the world is rooted in racism. The notion that the entire world was built on oppressing minorities is simply unfounded.

    As far as the alternative to capitalism. Just take a look at communist countries, where even the basics we enjoy in the US are nonexistent. You wouldn't have any say in the products available to you. The government would control your every move, reducing you to a mere robot. Now, I'm not suggesting that capitalism is perfect; it definitely requires some adjustments. We do need a social safety net to ensure that everyone has access to essentials such as healthcare and housing, all while maintaining a free market. The Soviet Union's collapse after a mere 75 years speaks volumes about the flaws of their system."
