That's what they'd like you to believe. They know exactly what they are doing.
- carapace 3y agoOne of the classic and unmistakable hallmarks of a fool is that they think they know what they are doing.

- carapace 3y agoAhead of what? They die too just like everybody else.
- JPws_Prntr_Fngr 3y agoAhead on virtually any measure of material or social success, and they further consolidate their advantages by functioning multi-generationally, which means that no, they don't die quite like everybody else. See for example: the Bush dynasty vs the typical "successful" American family. Do you know anyone benefiting from their great-grandfather's Nazi money, plus their grandfather's CIA/oil cartel black ops + presidency + Carlyle group influence trading, plus their father's presidency (and yet-to-be-proven criminal fuckery)? I don't.

- carapace 3y agoThe comment you're replying to is technically correct, but completely misses the point.
- JPws_Prntr_Fngr 3y agoYou would have had to make a cogent point for me to have missed it.
- Fervicus 3y agoI think their point was more philosophical. They can be rich, but they'll never be happy sort of a thing.
- JPws_Prntr_Fngr 3y agoDon't forget the They Live glasses!
- mushbino 3y agoIt's all provable beyond doubt if you'd like to see.
