>>510077963It's just the reality of capitalism, which is the reality of human nature.
Every single human being wants money, for what purpose? So that others are forced to do labour for you, provide products, in exchange for currency which you hold. It's a dominance game.
Of course, the innocent idea is that everyone does a fair day's work for a fair day's pay, and this facilitates trade and a functional society.
But in reality, the games immediately start.
Why provide a better product or service when you can just buddy up with other psychos, squeeze out all the competition, and become the only game in town?
Why build more houses? That's hard work! Just hoard the existing stock, pump up demand by importing any warm body you can find, and make it impossible to build more.
Voila, you've just shortcut your way to being top dog, and you circumvented the need to provide any real value.
This is how third-world dictatorships work. It's how most of the world works.
There is no need to create real value, as long as you are in the dominant position over others. Because whatever scarce resources there are, will be available to you, the top dog.
Money is, and always has been, a mechanism for dominating other human beings. Not for providing a good life for all.
We are just getting closer to endgame.
