I've just started getting into Trueanon and was listening to the Bush Did 9/11 series. It's pretty common knowledge (around here anyway) that the ultrawealthy really do fucking run everything and shape the narrative such that they can keep doing so no matter how heinous the atrocities they commit. Absurd wealth really is absolute power. But it makes me wonder... what about the "new money"? As just one example, like Bill Gates. I know he's an evil capitalist motherfucker, but he wasn't among the powerful elite when he started out. Is there some point where people like him get "jumped in" to the violent gang that steers geopolitics? Does he know that Bush (and co.) really did do 9/11? Are even those who have the most wealth, at least ostensibly known to the public, kept in check by the power of those behind the 3 -letter agencies? Maybe this is a stupid question and I realize any answers will inevitably just have to be speculation, but I'm trying to wrap my head around this and would love to hear thoughts.
conspiracies may exist or not, but their behavior is always guided by living under capitalism. you can't be a capitalist against capitalism, so why would old money have a problem with new money?
It's not that old money would have a problem with new money so much as that new money might have a problem with old. Like seriously, Bill Gates is a piece of shit, but does he really know the insane atrocities that old money has been committing all along? I just wonder how new money comes to fit in with the truly horrendous shit that they presumably didn't know about when they used to just be part of the cattle herd.
didn't his wife leave him because of epstein? don't underestimate the evils of new money. it's basically a prerequisite too be evil if you want money at all
No idea. I just started learning about a lot of this disgusting depravity. If that's true, I actually can see the dark and putrid humor in it.
I also totally agree that to even beginning to amass that kind of wealth necessitates that you are either evil already or willing to become evil to play the game up at that level.
