I think their source is much worse, after all they write things like this:
They are very clearly a fascist doing third way dog whistling and even breaking into full techno fascist rhetoric about ai enforcing morals in some replies.
True capitalism was never achieved!
The capitalist subject, so accustomed to being lied to and ripped of by their society, refuses to believe that any socio-economic order can deliver good results for the people in it. This is what passes for "common sense" in capitalist countries: a religious belief that anyone who claims to want to make things better is lying to you.
The saddest thing is how “enlightened” they feel in believing that there is no alternative, and that feeling further entrenches them in capitalist realism. Anyone who believes otherwise is a sucker, a naïve utopian.
The This is Fine dog but you're trying to hand him a fire extinguisher and he rolls his eyes and says "Pfft sure buddy, you think I'm stupid?"
All idealism regardless of type can be summed up in one belief: that it is not possible to improve the world. Materialism, on the other hand, posits that it is possible. Is it any wonder that Capital goes to such lengths to keep materialist thought out of its public discourse? The worker who believes they cannot improve their lot poses little threat to Capital.
