[ID: extract from a wikipedia article over a photo of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wearing her “Tax the rich” dress at the met gala.
Text reads: According to Fisher, capitalist realism has so captured the public thought that the idea of anti-capitalism no longer acts as the antithesis to capitalism. Instead, it is deployed as a means for reinforcing capitalism. This is done through media which aims to provide a safe means of consuming anti-capitalist ideas without actually challenging the system. The lack of coherent alternatives, as presented through capitalist realism, leads many anti-capitalist movements to cease targeting the end of capitalism, but instead to mitigate the worst of its effects, often through individual consumption-based activities.
