Capitalism's greatest superpower is absorbing all critique and selling it back to consumers as a luxury good.

Not bad, but I personally think its superpower is always being just the tiniest bit better than everything else...

Insightful observation. Also depressing. Probably why Gibson dislikes this trend.

Mark Fisher :

"Capitalism is very much like the Thing in John Carpenter’s film of the same name: a monstrous, infinitely plastic entity, capable of metabolizing and absorbing anything with which it comes into contact. Capital, Deleuze and Guattari say, is a 'motley painting of everything that ever was'."
