  Reading too much into it. It is simply their self-interest (the wealthy) conflicts with your self-interest. They are just grabbing as much money as they can and creating as many distractions along they way to confuse and distract.

    I think you over-estimate the wealthy. These aren’t terribly intelligent people, they just have enough money to force what they want. The other commenter is correct, it’s largely just hubris and them believing they’re gods because they had the money things that aren’t terribly complicated but are otherwise out of reach for normal people. Everything they do that’s a trick is only clever to to those who are easily fooled. No one intelligent is confused, they just lack power to do anything especially with so many of the aforementioned fools supporting the rich.

      I think this is it.

      I think, for example, that a lot of the conspiracy theories that exist around 9/11 being planned are the actual the conspiracy meant to mask the fallibility of the ruling class by creating stories about them being all powerful in the wake of a weakening attack.The one complex thing the rich do have the power to control is the stories we’re told. The stories we’re told establish our place in the world and convince us of our rolls.
