Specifically, what arguments fail (that support capitalism) due to faulty evidence, misunderstanding of capitalism, lack of knowledge regarding Marxism, etc.?

    I think it’s stupid as much as anyone who’s not gen Z, but to claim it’s not real because it’s not something I can understand is a little boomer-like. Guess we’re doing the whole “everything from my childhood is how it should be and the previous/next generations are stupid/misguided if they disagree” shtick.

      Agreed. “Influencers” are making money because people are paying them. So it’s clearly lucrative for some reason that I’ll never understand.

        I think their argument is that the job exists because of capitalism and without the driving force of an economy being capital, the role of an influencer is gone.

      No its more like. I’m not gonna let capitalism lie to me about whether or not I need five different flavors of cinnamon toast crunch (one of which will specifically target my interests / demographics!) to feel fulfilled.

      That’s been going on way since the boomers and at least formally since the ww2 generation.

      Telling you that you need all of these #options plus an #attractive celebrity to identify with and tell you which flavor to like is waaay older than anyone still alive now.
