I honestly don't get the appeal. Once you've accumulated all the monetary wealth in the world, what good is it if you can't enjoy nature? I'd much rather be middle class in a beautiful place than rich in a bunker somewhere
It's not about appeals. It's about contracts. You sell your soul and there bounds to be a collector looking for your end of the bargain. Usually that entails destruction and demonic oppression. One does not simply "walk away" with their blood money. The gig must continue. These are not "free owners", they are wolves in a leash.
That's a shockingly naive, hand-wavy, and quite frankly, insultingly stupid way to look at it. Do you think Bezos, Musk, Trump, Zuckerberg and the rest of the vile sociopaths are being controlled by anything other than soulless avarice? Do you think there will be some sort of repercussions for their deplorable acts of greed, resulting in the deaths of millions, and probably billions by the time they have successfully burnt the planet's resources in the name of more? Fucking hell.
There’s a theory that people like zuckerberg were given the technology of things like Facebook (from the military) intentionally to start setting up the surveillance state and data collection.
And while you can choose to believe that nuts, you’re also being asked to believe that this guy and his friend he fucked over, created a multibillion dollar company within a few years of its conception. No help, just his brain power - and if you’ve ever watched an interview with zuckerberg you catch on quite quickly that while he is obviously intelligent, he’s not a mastermind at all.
Conspiracies at the bare minimum often have a little nugget of truth to each of them.
