So, I’m not particularly surprised that a bunch of rich psychopaths hang out together, virtually or IRL. I mean, we all find our tribe eventually.
I’m not particularly surprised that a bunch of rich psychopaths hanging out together come up with schemes of mutual benefit. I’d be surprised if they didn’t.
I’ve always thought of the Illuminati as a thing beyond that. Like, some kind of quasi-religious thing that transcends mere greed and grift. Maybe we’ve just reached the point in capitalism where oligarch collusion is indistinguishable from world domination, because enough of our governments have already ceded authority to their corporate overlords.
Mythmaking marks the point in time when they stop to care about advancing financial profits and try to convert it into other resources they can gain, e.g. legacy and influence in the case they are playing masons, but with a starting ego boost of 9000x.
Turns out “capitalist democracy” is an oxymoron, because every business is a plutocracy/oligarchy, that rewards psychopathy because morality is less profitable, who inevitably end up using their capital to corrupt everything in their favor (politicians, regulators, media, military, the entire population, etc).
It’s actually kind of mentally ill that everyone just accepts democracy can coexist alongside systemic structural inequality, but I guess religion already proves that humans are just talking apes who’ll believe anything.

“Fascism is capitalism in decay”

We democratized our politics, but failed to democratize our workplaces and economies.
And it turns out, it is impossible to have democratized politics unless the economy is also democratized.
