Nicely written as usual, but it makes a fundamental error. Capitalists don't ever devote themselves to supporting capitalism. Each Capitalist is only loyal to him or herself. Lenin once said that When it come time to hang capitalism, it will be easy to find a Capitalist who will sell the rope. People without any political power often fantasize about a unified conspiracy that is controlling everything. In fact, Capitalism is a free-for-all brawl that no one can control, which will destroy itself unless it is carefully regulated.

The numbed zombies you describe as produced by porn are of no use to any capitalists. One of the tensions in Capitalism is that it needs both 1) hard working drones who will slave away for little or no money 2) indolent consumers with lots of ready cash to buy its products. Commercials (and perhaps porn) creates the second, but undermines the first. You describe people as being "controlled' by Capitalists through porn, but controlled to do what? Of what economic use is someone who has no skills because they spend all their time jerking off to their phones? This is happening not because there is a master cabal of Capitalists planning it, but because almost all Capitalists are looking only towards their own next years balance sheet, and are ignoring the fact that their plans will destroy them and everyone else in the long run
