At a deeper level, this system possesses a remarkable ability to self-correct and immunize itself against internal resistance. Recent grassroots protests against vaccine mandates and government interventions, while expressing genuine public grievances, have inadvertently aligned with the interests of capital. Under the banner of "freedom," these movements opposed public health measures that might temporarily harm business interests, effectively serving as a volunteer army defending the free market and resisting state regulation. Public anger was skillfully redirected from the systemic inequalities at the root of the crisis toward the government as a proxy for the system, and even toward science itself. This allowed the system to emerge unscathed, even strengthened, amid the internal clamor and strife.
