General Discussion

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”

They (the ultra rich) don't need to hide anymore. They think it's all sewn up. I guess the midterms will tell whether they're right or not.

They don't even feel compelled to have shared facts. It's all lies 24-7 for the pedestrian classes. They only have contempt for the public. They seek to build parallel institutions and exclude everyone not in their "club."

What I'd actually like to see would make Dante's Inferno seem like amateur hour.
