your enemies were getting paid. You weren't. Your enemies never had to fear getting cancelled. You did. Your weaker allies could freely betray you and join your enemies on assurance of patronage. The reverse was never the case. Naturally, you were taking loss after loss despite actually having very popular and non-repulsive positions. A lot of this just got blown up. That's an obvious win for you, you actual fucking retard. Be as depressed as you want, but don't so depressed you develop cataracts.
>some money that they made up out of nothing
this is a much dumber statement to make but this is economics so it's a much more understandable dumbness. I can't call you a retard when not knowing this is the standard.
The money they made up out of nothing competes with your money that you earn, bids prices up for goods that you both pursue, and makes your money not go as far. Counterfeiting is pretty bad for the people not connected to the counterfeiter.
