People have yet to realize it's corporatism that is ruining everything. Politics is just what's used to keep it confusing for the masses and to let them pretend like they matter.

This is conspiracy nonsense. Cronyism is the bastard child of Statism. Businesses do not have power to force consumers to buy their goods and services. True, the crony businesses will take all the money the State bribes them with, but make no mistake: without resources and power, the State would hold little interest for businesses. You have the cart leading the horse.
