      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.

        And who did Bill Cosby make money for, again? Who protected Bill Cosby and allowed him all that power?

          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:

          a capitalist world fawning over capitalists

          No, they fawned over him because they liked his character and persona in public.
