That's my point exactly. Every issue or idea has to be judged in economic terms to determine its merit (or lack thereof). It is a fundamental flaw in the way we operate as a society. It has filtered down through all levels of society so effectively that even people with no capital to speak of and zero economic advantages who are actually exploited victims of a runaway economic system are among its defenders.
In fact, there is even a backlash and stigmatization of critics of the system as "socialists" or just ignorant or crazy.
It really is disturbing and bizarre.
