45/ it’s recycled antisemitic tropes reframed as more sanitized class wording. The evil money people out to get you.
Yeah, we are living in a society which contains significant structures built by people who believe that Greed Is Good Actually. And if people just managed to be More Selfish, everything would be Great (for some definition of Great).
But that structure not only rewards that, but it to some degree mandates it. And this is where the idea of The Unaccountability Machine comes in. If you want this structure to behave differently you have to change something in this reward cycle.
But to think that even such a “small” change won’t result in massive unpredictable consequences is beyond naive it is negligent and possibly crime-against-humanity-negligent.
So yeah, we should do reforms, so many reforms, a whole stack of reforms. But for gods sake we can’t pull the carpet out from under other vulnerable humans while we Roll Out Our Big Plan. People will literally die. And what kind of ego must you have to think that You Know Best? That’s ridiculous. And tbh proof that you don’t. Only someone who is clueless would proceed with that level of confidence.
