Comment on CEO pay is rising faster than it has in a decade — and 3 times as fast as worker wages
Cybermonk_Taiji@r.nf 1 week agoThe owners have been painfully clear they believe they can sustain an economy only they can afford to participate in, but still somehow powered by and on the backs of everyone else that can’t afford to live within it, let alone be active consumers/participants.
That somehow is called slavery and it “worked” for a long time. It’s their only true goal.

Overt slavery was hard, and got harder at scale.
The owners figured that out after Jim Crow fell.
Since then, they stumbled upon a solution born of modern technology.
Just propagandize your labor pool into enslaving themselves into believing it was their idea, and just as importantly, propagandize them into hating and blaming those peasants who didn’t fall for that propaganda as the reason for all their owner caused misery.
