@ainmosni the belief that capitalism is fair leads to a sort of financial moralism, where people internalize the capitalist reward structure and allow it to supplant social morals / goals with personal finance. Wealthy people are revered as virtuous and assumed to work harder / be superior to those struggling proles. This is not, of course, an inevitable conclusion which people draw, but rather the result of bootstrap propaganda meant to justify inequity. Moral decay & social breakdown results.
