Give me a break. There’s a lot of people that people fawn over that turn out to be huge pieces of shit. Just look at Bill Cosby. Not really sure why you’re singling out capitalism.
I don’t think he fooled anyone. The guy was literally helping the environment and advancing the space age. Then he started using drugs and went off the rails. He’s like Kanye. His music was good, the creator just went nuts.
You see all of the electric cars on the road now? Tesla saw an opportunity to make money, and it paved a path to lower carbon emissions (eventually). Even the blind chicken catches a worm. Capitalism isn’t all bad, it’s the greed it breeds that’s bad. The world isn’t black and white.
You mean those things that aren’t public transport? Those things?
Tesla saw an opportunity to make money, and it paved a path to lower carbon emissions (eventually)still profiteering from privatized transport while pretending it was fixing anything.
FTFY.
Capitalism isn’t all bad, it’s the greed it breeds that’s bad.
Capitalism is literally just a set of excuses and pretexts to justify gross economic parasitism - old-style concepts such as “greed” doesn’t even hold a candle to that.
My own personal opinion of him is that he’s a shrewd businessman in a world that prefers businessmen over creators. The second the public eye shifted to him he clearly had some mental episode that has only been heightened by drug use and being egged-on by the alt-right and social commentators like Rogan. Ironically, he’s become a creator, but his content is the actions of a broken billionaire lashing out.
Let’s not pretend it was just Reddit. The man literally got a shout-out in Star Trek. He had a lot of people fooled.
Gee… a capitalist world fawning over capitalists?
Who woulda thunk it?

And who did Bill Cosby make money for, again? Who protected Bill Cosby and allowed him all that power?
Is the capitalism in the room with you right now?
Damn dude, capitalism isn’t the boogeyman you can’t just blame everything bad on it lol
Yes it is.
But your argument, from what I read, is that they fawned over him because he made money. You’re specifically calling out the business/monetary side:
No, they fawned over him because they liked his character and persona in public.
Yeah, let’s be clear here, in NuTrek. That’s not exactly a mark of quality.

No he wasn’t. Capitalists don’t cure the disasters they create - they just find different ways of profiting off it.
No, he didn’t - he just showed his true nature. That is all.
