I don’t understand why so many are surprised and appalled at the election results.
Ever since the insidious scheme of corporate capitalism was concocted, the highest goals embedded into the system have always been for individuals to acquire great wealth, power, and unobstructed control — regardless of harm to other individuals, other groups or other species. Trump and Musk simply represent the apex of those goals. Both are truly the epitome of corporate capitalists.
What we have is a monumental victory at last for corporate capitalism.
