I caught that too. The whole show's packed with little details and subtle and overt critiques of capitalism it's one of the best shows running right now.
I have this nagging thought when I watch it about the commodification of iconoclasm ( can't remember who wrote about this or I'd cite them - ComradeEchidna reminded me it's Mark Fisher in Capitalist Realism, ty comrade).
There are clearly anti capitalist and anti fascist themes in the show, but it's making money for Amazon, which is arguably a real life equivalent to Vought. I enjoy the show, but sometimes it gives me the same vibes as Ford selling trucks with MLK Jr quotes or some t-shirt company making money with Che's face.

That's right, thanks for the reminder. I thought maybe it was Parenti but I couldn't find anything by googling the phrase.

The capitalist will sell us the rope, and so on and so on
