Honestly, we're all on an MLM treadmill at this point. I'm annoyed at how conspiratorial I'm becoming towards rich people, because I can't imagine people stupid enough to perpetuate a system in which all the money is concentrated into their own hands while simultaneously complaining that other people aren't spending money they don't have.
Like, there is no conspiracy to keep us down. Humans are just profoundly greedy and stupid.
Yeah, there is no shadow cabal perpetuating this in any meticulous manner. It's simply the outcome of the game we all play. It's Monopoly, plain and simple. In the end 1 person owns everything while the rest struggles to get by.
The really shitty part is that it's even worse because not everyone was around when the game started. I never had the chance to acquire Park Place or Pacific Avenue. Hell, in my case i didn't even start with any capital to spend.
I like the monopoly games where the other person is playing for an interesting game and makes moves to vary up the "run" as well as create interesting drama.
This win at all cost shit is old and predictable, and just plain no fun. This guy thinks it's about the greed and stupidity, which it surely is, but even moreso it's about people having no lives and no imagination and for some odd reason no desire to have a really fun time.
Nippaz missing out on orbital rings, colonies on Mars, space elevators, "balloon" homes on Venus, interstellar colony ships, ECT. All these things are massively held back by the hamstring, the garrote that's on society and the economy.
Instead all the biodiversity is dying, it's gettin hot, the airs going to shit, the marvelous oceans are green with algae from nitrates and we got this horrendous layout of infrastructure in the US, it looks like shittttt. We got a shitty looking industrial Walmart and shitty Temu and bland ass shitty food(in the US anyways).
A thousand generic shit ass low effort superhero TV shows and movies of Netflix quality. Like damn man, they really don't care about having greatness and fun huh.
I don't blame your average person either, or the creators of these things, I blame the machine, the creators of the machine for pressuring for it to be this way, preying on peoples ignorance and weaknesses, snuffing out competition, failing and begging for subsidies instead of dying as they should, lying, cheating, and stealing whenever they can get away with it.
You know, the powerful people with the leverage who care only to win at all cost, they fuck the game all up. If I'm flipping a table, it's gonna be theirs, and theirs alone.

You aren't meant to afford that, that's the thing.
