| If "Testing Theories of American Politics:
Elites, Interest Groups, and Average
Citizens" by Gilens et al. convinced you, then, you have reason to assume oligarchy in the US.
Whether you can assume the same in other well off countries is an open question. Is it not strange that investment bankers get into state institutions?
Is it not strange that those rich countries do not mind your privacy (AMD PSP, Intel, ARM CPUs).
As if intelligence agencies form a hidden legislative role and they fear their own citizens.
Why is there a need to become like China? Despite all that, people have many more potential conspiracies. Popular ones are: - Leader of the WEF
- Soros
- Gates How valid those potential conspiracies are, is another question. One example, Epstein supposedly killed himself.
Some people are sceptical about that.
But I would say: beware your confirmation bias.
Potential coincidence should not make you disregard due process. In my estimation, you do not need conspiracies.
It is very simple, if you are very rich, you can buy yourself free from your duties (e.g. Amazon) and you can influence policy making (i.e., lobbying).
It is also easy to see why the US or rather the intelligence agencies engage in conflict (e.g. Taiwan/TSMC). To be fair, an article on Vox says that the above finding is false.
It is hard to be certain on "truth" or to be "certain" at all.
You end up with beliefs (which has many forms: assumptions, trust, axioms, ...).
Better stay off politics and news. |
