actually no, they really are that dumbfuck stupid irl. It’s actually pretty scary. Yes capital has an influence, and part of that influence is enabling these idiots to be in charge of it all. Usually these idiots would have a boss (the president or whatever) who was at least competent at managing the capitalism machine, but liberalism is unable to even produce that reliably.

Right-conspiracy theories sometimes might come from a place of being unable to accept a chaotic world and ascribing fucked up things to a higher level of control. Like illuminati (with the anti-Semitism stuff sauteed in to varying levels) and all that. I need to not fall into that trap and ascribe some level of control or intelligence where none may very well exist. Holy shit I hope I can survive what’s gonna happen.
