Ok.

I mean… don’t ascribe to conspiracy what can be ascribed to incompetence and everything, but come on..

One of the wealthiest industrialists was part of a plot to overthrow the U.S. government and replace it with a military dictatorship, gets caught, gets let off, invests into the 3rd Reich, that becomes unsafe so his lawyer helps him launder the money out of Germany, then his lawyer goes on to become the first director of the CIA, both his son and grandson become president, with the son also directing the CIA, and being involved with the JFK assassination, while the grandson is president during 9/11 and passes the Patriot Act.

Yeah. It's not even hard to connect those dots.

Well fuck me, I knew none of this! I mean, I presumed they were all shady AF but this shit is FU!

Prescott Bush (industrialist and banker) allegedly involved in plot to overthrow the U.S. government in early 1930s, known as the Business Plot. Business dealings including investments in Nazi Germany. His lawyer (Allen Dulles, later became first civilian Director of CIA) assisted.

Prescott’s son, George H.W. Bush, was Director of the CIA before becoming 41st President of the United States, and has been associated with various ‘conspiracy theories’ including the JFK assassination.

Prescott’s grandson, George W. Bush, became 43rd POTUS, overseeing the passage of the Patriot Act following 9/11.

Wow

And that was ChatGPT, not some wacko

Didn't know about the 1930 plot either.

Me either. That one blew my mind.

At the top levels it seems to be one cohort of generationally evil individuals

It’s true, but this can be deceiving as this temptation seems to visit ALL who reach certain levels of wealth and influence.

Then again "Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely" is a very convenient saying that may be artificially skewing leadership by having the good guys limit themselves.

Sounds like the thinking of Boromir of Gondor at the Council of Elrond.

“Let’s use the power of the enemy against him”.

Fascists always think that way.

Your example of the Bush dynasty above doesn't scream that just any random aspiring fascist will foster corporatist corruption.
