This is a prime example of what I alluded to in my comment. For-profit capitalism is the establishment politics, so it’s portraid as apolitical.
Also, the establishment politics of the public that must not be challenged in order to make money? Apolitical.
I’d agree there for sure.
For example, they might call it apolitical to say “Israel has a right to defend itself” in the US right now. But that is the SUPER political, absolutely disgusting, reprehensible statement that finally made me lose all respect for Bernie Sanders once and for all. It’s just that this statement lies on the other side of the AIPAC’s widespread propaganda campaign to make their genocide legal.
