The right left illusion of politk is a lot like that of current year "economics". Rent seeking and regulatory capture are the piston and cylinder of our "Economy". While the "go woke, go broke" meme in the meme wars is a great battlefield tactic, it fails to account for the full landscape of battle.
Whatever billions are "lost" by Globocorp raising the rainbow flag and slitting throats of productive white men, they are making up in territorial gains in the engine that is plutocracy - or Globohomo. We tend to project our own rational motives to that of the enemy - as well as the flawed premise that they too desire to build, create, and serve something greater. Thus, our overarching strategy to address the issues as we see them also fails.
The cloud people that control the administrative state / managerial state / permanent bureaucracy that monopolizes every day regulatory power as well as that of the bodies of lawmaking and judicial fiat, answer to those who conjure money from thin air and the self-propelling value harvesting machines known as Corporations. That some happen to make actual useful things only further entrenches them into the halls of that power but the System to which they subscribe is one of destruction and looting. When hitched to power and money creation, what does it matter if "society" burns? We need to orient our minds toward separation instead of the trappings of "muh free markets" and other nice ideas that never really existed or are divorced from human nature like "libertarianism."
