Hossenfelder just posted a video titled "Capitalism is good. Let me explain.", and it's about what you'd expect.
Some societal advancement happened under a capitalist system? Well then capitalism must get the credit. She also conflates "capitalism" and "markets" pretty often.
Hossenfelder contends that markets need to be regulated to not be abused by those in power or fuck up the environment, but insists that despite these regulations this is still a free market, and therefore free markets/capitalism are good, we just need to "set it up properly".
She only makes passing remarks about Greta Thunberg and Marx as opponents of capitalism whom you should pay no attention to, and does essentially what economists in the 1800s did: Philosophize about what non-existent "completely rational" consumers and corporations might do, and not look at any actual data.
The like/dislike ratio and the comments tearing into her do give me some hope though.

Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Shitty "scientist" with a failed career turned into a youtube grifter. It's no surprise her main selling points are bigotry against trans people and those on the autism spectrum, and this... braindead drivel.
