Like U.K. LeGuin’s Omelas story it’s a potent, if allegorical, critique of Western capitalism but the problem with capitalism isn’t that there’s a Lamarr Burgess figure deceiving the populace into accepting the bargain, it’s something that everyone who benefits from the system is complicit in, consciously or not.

Ooh! I agree so much. Love the changed focus of the vid.
