    This reminds me of something I sometimes see in shows on like Netflix and other media. I can’t remember a specific example, but you often have generic anti-capitalist comments from characters (often portrayed as edgy). It often feels a bit, artificial, like a “fellow kids” moment but politically, I guess? Like activism as a prop / character trait, inserted into a multi-million media production. Maybe someone else can better put it to words, if I had more time I would’ve written a shorter comment

      Some would probably call stuff like that “woke”, but maybe “performative” or “pandering” would be slightly less politically charged.
