The Tale of Unwitting Controlled Opposition.

The most generous read for the perpetual losers who keep repeating the same errors despite what would seem like all logic and common sense.

They aren't stupid.

Their paychecks depend on promoting suboptimal half measures.

Of course, this means the psychoaths serve the oligarchs and corporations more effectively.

And the non corporatists serve the people most effectively.

But 2/3 of those groups receive media, algorithm, institutional, and financial backing.

On one side are people promoting effective and well tested human centric governance.

On the other side are people ready to sell it all out for greed or zealotry.

The people in the middle tell themselves they’re pragmatic and working within the confines of the system, if they didn't cater to corporate interests they'd have no funding and then what good would they do?

That's the lie an institutionalist lives by.

That they're standing between the bad guys and us.

In reality, they're helping the bad guys by slowing progress as destruction sprints at full speed.
