the alleged ethical payload underpinning all these movements is just pretext for plutocratic power.

bastiat (to my mind one of if not the greatest economist in history) really nailed this one.

you develop a culture of plunder.

legal codes are made to defend it.

and moral codes are made to lionize it and call it duty.

in the end, you are literally being told it is your duty to be fed into crony corporatist maw.

i am exceedingly pro free markets, free business, capitalism, and cooperation. but when this goes coercive, it all goes bad and you will ALWAYS land here.
