@robj@mastodon.social @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us I tend to think about it not so much in terms of a conspiracy, but rather how the self interest of certain privileged groups can work against the common good. A redistributive economy is made difficult by globalisation, and also by the reluctance of middle earners to bear a heavier tax burden.

@kbm0@mastodon.social @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us I agree that plenty of it is structural. But also seems clear to me that people are getting together to do one thing, and say another. At best, it shows that most political parties are subject to the same forces, are going in one direction, and absolutely cannot be trusted.
