*paid by & financed with strings by capitalism
(The invisible hand of “free market” is there to hold the poor by the balls.)

Look at it this way - politicians, even the ones in power, always criticise the gov & affiliated systems too. It’s not the change that is rewarded, it’s keeping & refining the current system.

We have a single reward metric (monies), ofc that absolutely dictates the inevitable enshitification.
