  Are they? I can’t think of a single show about a billionaire off the top of my head.

  Because billionaires finance TV Shows and use them as propaganda

  Because people are brainwashed by capitalism, and so while they hate the rich (which is normal) they also admire them and feel like they got rich out of hard work. And then there’s the ones that are even more obviously not rich from any kind of work, and people see it as “unfair” and get even more involved.

  In the end, it’s a toxic love-hate relationship that just shows how capitalism won by distracting and burying shit under more shit.

    That’s Jesuit duality. That’s what you described, even better than I could.

  Why make the billions if you can’t buy the media conglomerate that makes shows about making billions so that you can make everyone else jealous that you make billions? 😵‍💫
