Most people have no idea what purpose; profit, interest rates, interest itself, Time preference or a myriad of other aspects of capitalistic markets actually have, so it's easier for them to remain ignorant of the things they should be grateful for and instead look around at the marxist perversion making them sad and then making a sweeping generalization and assumption that "feels right".

It's understandable because we humans love to simplify and make assumptions that seem right without thinking critically, hell we can't think critically about everything otherwise we'd be paralyzed with innaction and never have a solid opinion on anything.

Though another key aspect besides lazyness is that people like to attach what they observe in their minds eye to black and white categories, ahhh everything bad = capitalism everything good = progressive socialism. They wakeup and have to go to work but instead of looking inward into why they can't enjoy their day to day or how they can change it, they blame the system itself. This focus on the negative also keeps them tunnel visioned away from simple truths that would brighten their day, like how they can do a single task for 8 hours and have all of their basic needs met in most cases.

We are masochistic creatures that love to complain and people's speed of dismissing and being snarky about Capitalism seems to be largely a symptom of their own fantasy and their own insecurity.
