    Their role is entirely dependent on maintaining the cult of personality and calling for the blood of those who are accused of dysloyalty.

    STOP IMAGINING THESE PEOPLE HAVE ANY KIND OF MORALS OR LIMITS TO WHAT THEY WILL DO. HOW HAVE YOU NOT GOT THIS YET?

      You’re not looking at this from a systemic perspective.

      Their role is winning their own elections. Everything else must be secondary, since if it wasn’t they’d be replaced by someone else who does.

      I’m talking about the people who run the machinery of the evil empire that turns the suffering and continued immiseration of billions into profits for the shareholders of the most destructive companies, I’m not under any impression that these people have morals I can recognize.
