Go figure the people that have the most power and control in this world are absolutely fucking depraved. The sickest, twisted, most disgusting people that have done things worse than one could try to conjure in their imagination. Those are the same people making life hell for nearly everyone else on the planet. Every revelation along the way only broadens the depth of their abominable behavior.
We are all trapped in the wage slave system they created with few escape routes. They are not afraid of consequences because they own the political class, education systems, and employment, and even the realestate.
There is no escape because there are no Consequences for the rich and powerful. They have fooled everyone into keeping everything the same because “you too might be rich and powerful one day” and therefore take advantage of the same lack of rules.
