Well its certainly a dumb thing to say

We are all being manipulated. By the people around us who are trying to sell themselves to the companies that are trying to sell us their products.

It isn't a bad thing. It is the product to an open society.

I don't understand that downvotes for me calling this capitalism.

People get all butthurt whenever someone even implies something negative about capitalism.

I'm a big fan of capitalism. It has benefited me and mine greatly. The positives definitely outweigh the negatives.

Some people just get bent out of shape when said negatives are even thought of, let alone spoken about. It's weird.
