That’s the weird thing about the Madoff example. He wasn’t poor, and was very well respected on Wall Street.
It’s always the same mechanic. If a rich person gets persecuted, it is because the system needs to appear legit. Or they are trying to suppress something else. Today I learned the term “boomer truth regime” which I will be trying to further research since it sounds pretty much like the issue a lot of us are facing atm.
I hadn’t heard the phrase “boomer truth regime” before you mentioned it and I was curious as well. Turns out it’s when cryptofacists try to explain the US cultural shifts from WWII to today while using fancy terms they don’t understand (and obviously no dialectics nor theory of class or political economy). It’s definitely a laugh to read about though, there’s a bit of possibly every classic far-right conspiracy theory in there.
Yeah, I was very sad when I read about it and it turned out to be fascist shit. The term is pretty cool though. I thought they meant the revisionism but it turns out they were wildly off. Because I havent yet gotten my hands on good literature on the topic of western history revisionism and the sheer tons of lies they spread. Its a problem because it is true but the fascists again are more visible.
I mean actually. But sometimes hearing westoid cope is also fun, cause they’d come to the same questions if they just thought for a minute.
