True enough. However, the replies indicate to me that more people are starting to see through this cacophony of bullshit. I hope so, anyway.
Edit: re my ‘banality of evil’ comment, I highly recommend the movie The Big Short, about the 2008 housing crash. It gets pretty into the economic side of things and makes absolutely no effort to disguise the absolute stupidity of the people in charge of our financial institutions. It is, of course, a dramatization - however far closer to reality I think than the genius / supervillain mirages we tend to be sold. They are vile people undoubtedly, but just as stupid.
