Universal Capitalism will be seen as a false promise, to join the ranks of all the other false promises we knew were false when we first heard them (i.e.: they were always lies):
“Your check is in the mail.” Literally means payment has been sent, but idiomatically it’s become shorthand for a debtor’s excuse to stall creditors.
“The dog ate my homework.” A stock excuse for missed obligations, implying blame-shifting rather than accountability.
“I’ll call you.” In dating and networking, often understood as a polite exit line rather than a genuine commitment.
“We’ll keep in touch.” Frequently used as a conversational soft-close with no real intent to follow through.
“This won’t hurt a bit.” Commonly said by doctors/dentists before painful procedures—almost proverbial for reassuring falsehoods
--> Looks like a lie, sounds like a lie, is a lie.
