what’s rampant is billionaires ”amplifying” vapid narcissism because they want a disempowered population with no good role models or values other than the worship of money, and the path to money is being a cog in the western MCI/global supply chain/the great satan. people don’t want to build the surveillance state for google if it means they are going to be shamed and looked at as creeps. but if you give them enough money, they can film the crispest videos with their most expensive phones of their most expensive houses, making them de-facto cool, because everyone else is poor/a loser.
