but you see, the rich need those animal-monster-archetypes to put fear and disgust into working people

also, if you want to understand power, you've got to take off your engineering hat and start thinking in psycho-social fairy tale logic.

(p.s. the concept of anarcho-tyranny is the best thing i've heard from the peter thiel types)

Remember the brown bodega owner that fought back against the black attacker trying to murder him, and was still arrested? and how deeply unfair that felt, making protecting yourself a crime?

someone on twitter had an incredible comment that summed up his ideological sin in stabbing the criminal: "he killed the king's deer"

you'll understand the world much better if you stop willing it to be fair (this is a need of our inner child) and just observe how it works first, like an alien anthropologist...

but just like talking about a dream you had, it won't be polite or even possible to explain or discuss what you see with others, sadly
