> it's not real capitalism because because it's not supposed to be fair. it was never supposed to be fair. it was just supposed to look fair and make you feel like if you got a bad deal, it was your fault. even the supposed rules of the game can be bought. that's part of the game. you refuse to accept the reality of the situation because you're an ideologue. that also means that you can't be convinced out of your position because any argument that doesn't fit your ideology (such as the fact that regulatory capture is ironically a logical result of a laissez-faire economy) is dropped out of hand. there's no point in arguing with you any further.
