Capitalist is like one of those childhood games where 2 kids pretend to have superpowers and they keep coming up with new OP moves like "Unbreakable titanium shield!" and "Titanium-melting lava bolt!" and then "Super-lava-resistant invisible forcefield!" each to one-up the last one, except they never stop, we're all beholden to it, and the game decides our paychecks
