    I remember that actor with the high pitched voice that was in Princess Bride and was Rex from Toy Story, he is a marxist and has a good quote about this with Commodity Fetishism, where it just completely melted him for a couple of months because its just everywhere and seeing it everywhere until it just subtly falls back into the shadows until you remember the phrase.

    I do it with "primitive accumulation" which to me is just robbery. Like stealing in its most base form to create the capitalist mode of production. Its such a fancy word for such a simple concept, but its distinct and all the more impactful for it.
