Still comes down to the rulers imo, as they enable such behavior from the rich. The longer this goes on, the more blatant it becomes. And they’ve been at it for a looong time.

Of course the rulers enable this behaviour. Who do you think made them the “rulers” to begin with? You think our broke asses pay to get these people elected?

Elites will always be troublesome, but of no importance when they cannot corrupt anyone to do their bidding. That’s why I focus on rulers.
The problem is that people still seem to think that the next politician will change this, which is exactly what the elites want.

Given enough time and enough resources, anyone is corruptible. The most corrupt are usually those who believe they can’t be corrupted. You just have to get them to honestly believe something that isn’t true. Once you figure out what cognitive fallacies they’re vulnerable to, you’ll have just turned a bulwark against you into your most loyal zealot. That’s why the wealthy usually win. With enough money, one person can command more time, and resources than 50% of the country combined.

Totally agree. Everyone is corruptible.
Chomsky being in the Epstein files is the perfect example.
