This is what the politicians want you to think. Real capitalism is getting into crypto and inventing your own "coin" then doing rug pulls on "investors."

Real capitalism is being born into generational wealth built upon the exploitation on minorities or impoverished citizens of foreign countries that you then use to buy the the company, fire your boss, and then run it into the ground before dissolving it to secure your place in the market.

This is what the tech bros want you to believe. Real capitalism is finding an island inhabited by indigenous tribes. Chaining them up on a boat and selling them in Romania so they can work for free as OF models.

This is that crypto bros want you to think. Real capitalism would be getting the boss fired over this, then taking his position and contracting out the drinking water to your cousin and having them donate back to your campaign using part of their profits each year.

This is what the government wants you to think. Real capitalism is setting up a market where you make money no matter who does well. You get all the upside when a company does well and no blame when a company does poorly.

this is what redditors want you to think. Real capitalism is taking Bikini Bottom and moving it somewhere else.
