@Alonealastalovedalongthe I mean they're absolutely the driving force. A lot of people ask me "why now?" And I think the answer is pretty simple; the planet is boiling, either capitalism goes or a habitat that can support 8B+ people does. They know full damn well you're not going to CHOOSE to die for capitalism/rich people, so you must not be given a choice. Easiest way to accomplish that? Fascism, across the entire Pig Empire.
They're paying because fascism protects their power and wealth.
