The most popular conspiracy theory in the US today is that American wealth is the result of a steady cabalistic transfer of extant wealth from the poor and middle class to "like 10 people" at the "tippy top."

Take a look at what AOC is pointing out: for-profit prisons, student loans, "tricking the country into war," abusing food stamp programs. Notice a theme? Prisons are a product for governments. Rich people do not declare wars or issue food stamps. Student loans are backed by whom?

This is a crock of inauthentic, bad faith shit. Prisons are a product for government but they just happen to be full of poor people? Rich people don’t declare wars or issue food stamps but the wars and stamps end up being very profitable for the rich? Banks etc etc

Isn’t it well documented that for example the American people were tricked into the Iraq war and that furthermore big money had a role? Or generally that moneyed interests often highly influence public systems to their favor and not necessarily to the larger ecosystems favor?
