"I have lots of progressive ideas in my head, I'm actually immune to propaganda despite my actual behavior that is entirely consistent with capitalist ideology"

AOC buying a Tesla isn't "weird" or "anti-socialist", rationally navigating marketplaces to find loopholes is within the ideological framework of being a technocratic PMC under neoliberalism. The entire idea of 'tax rebates for electric vehicles' is probably one of Biden's main accomplishments lol

Just to get some clarity, is the argument here that buying a Tesla is capitalist ideology because Elon? Is it that being motivated by “muh tax break” is fundamentally the same mentality as the bourgeoisie? Or is this it driving a car instead of taking public transit?
