we watched him do this shit for 4 years 3 years ago, and they’re “stunned” about this now???

they knew. they always knew. that’s why they went into business with him. this objection is purely performative so they can take his dirty money while trying to stay clean.

but they’re still just as dirty

I’m so sick of everything being blatantly corrupt. You can’t take a shit without it making four shady deals on the way down to the water. The rot has spread so much the cleansing flames would engulf the world. Human potential, wasted completely on profits and racketeering. It would take a global movement to uproot what has taken hold of all of us.

I’m not so big on the “cleansing flames” part, but I agree with the rest.

It meant we’re so entangled with this shit that undoing it would unravel the world. And every elite is drinking from their own glass, they truly believe they do no harm.

they truly believe they do no harm.

eh… I don’t believe that. maybe some of them might, but I refuse o believe they’re all so oblivious to the harm they cause and that at least some of them aren’t enjoying it.

They aren’t oblivious. They justify it in their own minds. Maybe I’m saying that because I don’t want to believe we built a society that turns psychopaths into gods.

you mean capitalism?

edit: sorry, I don’t mean to sound glib

Don’t mind the libertarians booing you. Its obvious a society built on individualism and man-eat-man would turn to this. I still don’t want to believe this is the best we could come up with.

libertarians, you say? is that what the nazis are calling themselves this week?

I’m well past caring what strangers on the internet think of me, trying to hurt my feelings with imaginary internet points.
