I don't remember the people behind Power Rangers using their influence to get me to agree to being put through what amounts to torture for the hope of getting enough money to pay my bills though.
That’s odd, because I seem remember lots of pro-capitalist messaging on TV when I was growing up.
We were pressured to buy the toys, but we didn't have anything on the order of IRL Squid Game.
I was playing with your idea of getting put through torture to get money to pay the bills - if you interpret that as encouraging us to get a job under capitalism, it’s basically what that amounts to!
There were a good few game shows with that theme.
