Politics - Finance - Power

Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. 
Lord Acton

To make a career of politics is to become an agent of the spell. Full stop.

To engage in politics, even with generous intentions, is always to fight to make things better within the carceral reality produced by the spell.

The higher one rises in the ranks of power, the more one must submit to the worldview imposed by the spell.

The promises of the leaders are always false. None of them will accept that you change your software, betray the narrative and abandon the herd.

All the great fortunes of this world have made a Faustian pact with the spell. To obtain their power and wealth, they have sold their souls to the predator; they are its most influential agents.

Not surprisingly, they are presented as the ultimate models of success by the entire media machine.

The spell has many disguises. Do not be seduced.

August 2021: Bernard Arnault, the CEO of the world's number one luxury goods company LVMH, has become the richest man in the world, with a fortune estimated at $186.5 billion. This far exceeds the gross domestic product of many "developing" countries devastated by poverty and famine.
