    You are not wrong. It’s not even a theory.

    Studies have shown that most corporate CEOs exhibit many psychopathic tendencies. It’s how they are able to rise to the top, they don’t give a fuck about anyone else, so it doesn’t get in the way.

    Then they use the money from those positions of power to try and manipulate whatever sociopolitical ends they want. They buy media companies to manipulate what narratives are told to the public, and how certain situations are covered, spun, or ignored entirely. They use those companies to create artificial campaigns turning certain groups against each other as distractions. If people are arguing about “small” things, they don’t have time to notice the big things being done.



  • This comment tells me you’ve never had a good job at a good company.

    Quite the opposite, I haven’t experienced these hardships myself, but I’m able to recognize that tens of millions of people experience them every day. That it’s a reality we need to deal with as a society, and call out shitty executives that act like it doesn’t exist or that it’s the poor’s fault for not working harder (while they barely work, despite their claims). Did you mean to help prove the point that it’s extremely easy for people that don’t experience hardships like the inability to pay basic bills or afford food on a daily basis to fail empathizing with the workers that do? Because you did pretty spectacularly.

    I’m talking about a majority of the everyday workforce here. Like 99% of the 2.1 million people working at Walmart stores under this executive’s leadership. Talking about the inability of corporate executives to empathize with their employees being broadcast widely without any of them realizing the hypocrisy in articles like this with their tone deaf claims.
