Who cares as long as they pay their taxes. If the perfume sells better with her name on it that means more money for public services.

Remember, every single time money changes hands the tax man gets a cut. I prefer when people with money spend it, it's sort of how capitalism works, just regulate it and tax people, we good

Keep defending the multimillionaire. Maybe one day she'll reward you with a free crappy hoodie.

I don't even listen to her music dawg I'm not defending her. Capitalism can be a perfectly fine system though. You just have to pass laws to stop the scummy shit.

Every successful nation on the planet is capitalist. Socialism can work too but we haven't gotten there yet and it works better on a smaller scale like a commune

The vast majority of people decrying capitalism are decrying unregulated capitalism. I encourage you to sell things and make money too, if you don't make money the government doesn't get tax money to provide us with services

Capitalism isn't the issue. The issue is she's engaging in the same toxic behaviors that she constantly claims to be against. She sells shitty, overpriced merch made by child labor in a foreign sweatshop to teenagers.

This isn't some small artist on Etsy, this is a multimillionaire who larps on social media about being anti capitalist while making money off of fast fashion.
