re: #289 The Ghost of a Flea
The only actual world conspiracy with trillions of dollars backing it and tens of thousands of participants in the loop is all of the billionaires and the dipshits in high finance worldwide telling each other that they’re smart, important, and whatever rapey thing they did last week is perfectly okay.
Prior to the internet, it’s the single most coordinated project of psychopaths and narcissists creating a bubble in which their clearly antisocial behavior is normalized.
I’m fond of saying that we’re in that stage of capitalism where the wealthy, very wealthy and uber wealthy are just passing the wealth back and forth.
