Starting to think the motifs of the methodical deep-state puppetmaster or brilliant evil billionaire (Lex Luthor, etc) are psyops in and of themselves to convince us that these people have two braincells to rub together. Banality of evil and all that, our overlords are mostly petulant manchildren who know precisely shit about shit other than how to most cost effectively fuck people over, and somehow they’re still managing to fuck that up lol

They’re a class.
Not a “deep state.”
They rule by networks of power; more like a modern-day aristocracy that lives above us than a “highly organized central large group of people.”
Hell, there’s lots of infighting within the ruling-class, some of it we recognize and some of it we don’t.
