Gee... a capitalist world fawning over capitalists?
Who woulda thunk it?
Give me a break. There's a lot of people that people fawn over that turn out to be huge pieces of shit. Just look at Bill Cosby. Not really sure why you're singling out capitalism.
And who did Bill Cosby make money for, again? Who protected Bill Cosby and allowed him all that power?
Is the capitalism in the room with you right now?
Damn dude, capitalism isn't the boogeyman you can't just blame everything bad on it lol

No, they fawned over him because they liked his character and persona in public.
