Funny how all companies are like these monarchy-dictatorships.

We thought we escaped from the era of Kings and Queens in the 1700s. But it just reincarnated itself in corporate form.

You say the wrong thing, and the king cuts you off from your livelihood. You are solely to be a cog in the machine, not to have an opinion of your own.

It is disgusting corporate culture that suppresses the human spirit. Just to earn a paycheck to buy stuff that mostly isn't necessary anyway, trapped on some consumerist treadmill, keeping up with Joneses. That's what keeps all this together despite how poorly it functions. Consumer greed is the glue that holds this abusive hierarchy together.

There will always be some fucktard trying to control other people, via politics, money, religion et al.

I totally agree with you regarding corporate culture and consumer greed.

Yes the only question is how many people will "play the game" because they want scraps of that power too?

This is why greed is what keeps the hierarchy intact. Everyone is trying their hardest to be upwardly mobile on the hierarchy, so they "play the game" and it leads to all this massive corruption and controlling others.

If no one "played the game" then the game would stop. Immediately.

A lot! I just left a Buddhist cult full of leaders who fawn all over the higher ups for power.

(that cult has nothing to do with Buddhism, it just says it does. Chanting for wealth is NOT Buddhism!)
