Don’t forget the bigger problem, corporations. No conscience by design, no culpability for leadership, no social good obligation, most with global taxation leverage, and unlimited profit potential. The people literally get crumbs from the table like rats who have to pay handsomely for the privilege of even being in the dining room to begin with. The best part is that corporations have all the rights of an individual, along with those reserved for them exclusively. The 1970’s were the end of any semblance of democracy worldwide. 🥲

Absolutely. I would say earlier…when corporations gained personhood under the courts. When an entity with no ethics, no death date, and no physiologic limitations is given the rights and privileges of a person, it will exploit all non-self entities.

Agree entirely. I recommend watching Chomsky’s Requiem for the American Dream if you haven’t. It’s an amazing tour of the changes he has seen during his life.

I have definitely seen it 👍😎 And every Chomsky talk I can. He’s a treasure, and it blows my mind the amount of information that he can recall and the way in which he can consolidate complex ideas and present them to an unknowing public.
