Culture wars

Here is something else I'd do if I was a bloated financial parasite plutocrat. I'd try to distract people from the fact that I am busily sucking the life out of the society that is my host to increase the size of the vast pile of money that is all that is left of my soul. I'd do that, for instance, by encouraging people to spend their lives getting furiously enraged at things that don't matter at all to anyone but a minute proportion of people. I'd encourage people to become absolutely livid about, for instance, the rights of groups of people who have always existed but, somehow, are now imagined to be taking over society. I'd encourage useful idiots – famous children's authors for instance – to spend their lives spitting and mewling about this.

And, quietly, while people were distracted by all this sound and fury, I'd grow my pile of money by sucking the blood from my hosts.

Eat the plutocrats.
