It's their signature move!

There's nothing government and big business love more! Barely a month goes by that some government or corporation doesn't either institute some new tax or invent some new gadget that puts people out of work, and they're always so proud of it "This new peasant tax / Oligarcho-tron 5000 will put half the workforce out of work... and the other half on notice! ahahahaha!"

And then when everyone loses their jobs and is skint and miserable and the economy collapses, they fill the newspapers with ranting, raving, hateful screeds like

"WHy oh why are stupid lazy poor people too stupid and lazy and stupid to work and pay their peasant tax? I bet they don't even own an Oligarcho-Tron! hawhawhawhaw!"

AND WE GO ALONG WITH THIS SHIT!

We're all like "Ooooh oi loves the maaaaastuuuuuuuurr, please beat me some more maaaaaaastuuuuuurr".

Or worse, we go off on some nutty tangent. I feel like I'm on crazy pills with this one: All my life the internet has been full of freaks babbling on about "how the evil lizard people control us by putting bromide in your corn flakes" and "the true truth about the secret evil secret masters of the universe and the secret evil ways they fuck you over" when THE PEOPLE IN CHARGE ARE ALL OPENLY PISSING IN YOUR FACES AND LAUGHING!! What the fuck? Is it not completly obvious to you chuckleheads?

Maybe I am crazy. At least if I was crazy none of this shit would be real.
