Does capitalism scare the 'living daylights' out of you?

This was inspired by the Americana-parody film Mars Attacks!

An American journalist named Ajay writing about idol-worship in the modern age of sports became fascinated with the controversial news-story involving collegiate athletes from the Duke University men's lacrosse team accused of raping female college students. Ajay's blogs gained the attention of American movie star Tom Cruise who was planning to make a movie about Nazi Germany. Cruise contacted Ajay about the media's spotlight on 'prestigious sports teams' embroiled in controversies (e.g., steroids), and Ajay told Cruise about the distribution of 'false trophies.' Was this capitalism?

Ajay and Cruise looked up some cinema-art about predatory creatures known as 'Xenomorphs' (insectisoid-dragon creatures with incredible speed and ferocity) from the iconic American Alien sci-fi horror-film franchise. Ajay and Cruise found a piece of art depicting a Xenomorph wrapping a voluptuous woman in its lethal arms with an egg-laying parasite resting on her face. The artwork represented a human curiosity about mercilessness and wrath, and Ajay and Cruise remarked on how it could be referenced in discussions about modern pedestrian attitudes towards injustice in capitalism!

When casino-baron Donald Trump was elected U.S. President, the world wondered if commerce and capitalism would literally dominate the consciousness of modern civilization. Would the Duke University lacrosse-team rape-case (now forgotten by many) be considered merely an 'error' of modern media chatter? Would civics-oriented modern TV programs such as The People's Court and Law & Order represent pedestrian sensitivity? Ajay and Cruise had parted ways, but they were now both interested to see what President Trump would do about the growing mob resentment towards industrialization-related eco-pollution and cries about global-warming(!).

GOD: Capitalism in the modern world is a casino.
SATAN: Will Trump turn politics into a bank?
GOD: I have faith in the World Bank.
SATAN: I like the United Nations but not Wall Street!
GOD: What did Ajay/Cruise conclude about the Duke rape-case?
SATAN: The media dealt with that, and Ajay/Cruise remembered it.
GOD: I like Tom Cruise's sports-media culture film Jerry Maguire!
SATAN: I like Ajay's blog about the biases in consumerism.
GOD: Well, Notre Dame's college football team does have a TV contract.
SATAN: Will the 'sins of celebrities' be pardoned/forgotten/dismissed?
GOD: Consumerism-culture requires role-models (e.g., Steve Jobs).
SATAN: Three films celebrate Jobs (starring Wyle, Kutcher, and Fassbender)!
GOD: Perhaps cinema-culture will hype the 'romance' of consumerism...
SATAN: That's why Michael Keaton perhaps made The Founder.
GOD: That movie about McDonald's is idealism at its best!
SATAN: I worry that TrumpUSA will 'inspire' evolution-threatening terrorism.
