I know that the Dylan Mulvaney/Bud Light thing was a nothing-burger for most people ( a lot of people reckon it's a piss beer anyway), and for others it was a line in the sand, but the key take away here isn't anything to do with the culture war shit, it's the creepy ESG stuff.
I'm sure you all know now that there is this thing called an 'ESG' score, and companies that do woke shit and climate shit get more access to the money printers, simple as that.
Anheuser-Busch was willing to risk upsetting their customers in order to get closer to the money spigot.
Is that capitalism?
No.
So why are so many people saying things like "capitalism is the problem" and embracing radical socialism, when we clearly don't even have capitalism.
Because it's the old switcheroo. A linguistic sleight of hand.
We don't have capitalism, and yet again and again it's driven into peoples heads that it's the enemy.
They do the same sort of linguistic-linguini with 'Bitcoin' terms.
Bitcoin , crypto, blockchain.
They are interchangeable in the publics mind, there is no difference between them, and the public rarely questions the difference.
It's the same thing with 'capitalism' even though given the degree of centralisation, the system that we live under today is more akin to socialism to begin with.
The money printers decide what the companies do, the allocate resources as they see fit, not the individual.
I have Mulvaney to thank for putting that into sharp relief.
Capitalism = monopoly man bad.
(So don't look behind the curtain).
