Hell you can still like capitalism and see that there is a massive problem where wealth and power gets weighted even harder towards the rich as time goes on.

This would be fine.

But do you take "revolution, capitalism is killing us and our kids" as

"I like capitalism"

That is the probelm with Ruffalo tweet. We know he likes capitalism because he is buying mansions.
But he is saying the opposite.

Brand is the same way.
He lives in a 3 million dollar home but espouses this from his wikipedia entry:

A socialist egalitarian system based on the massive redistribution of wealth, [with] heavy taxation of corporations...I think the very concept of profit should be hugely reduced...I say profit is a filthy word, because wherever there is a profit there is also a deficit.

Profit is a filthy word yet he has millions.
How do you get millions without profit? Is he going to give those up when profit is gone?

See, he is not a hypocrite because he has money now, he is a hypocrite because he says profit is filthy and yet continues to profit and use said profit for luxuries.

Then again, back in 2014 he supposedly began donating his wealth to his causes

Today he is worth $15 mil according to estimates. Maybe they are wrong but apparently he lives in a 3 million dollar mansions so he has to have money to pay those giant property taxes.

But he is at least less of a hypocrite than others it seems, if he kept using his wealth as power for his causes that is. Idk.
