    Do you know what happens when societal structure collapses?

    People with power and wealth accumulate more power and wealth.

    People with the means and willingness to do violence acquire power and wealth from the vulnerable.

    People without power, wealth and the means to do violence die.

      Corporations are not the provayers of societal structure. People can be good people with no one forcing violence upon them. What are they going to do, pay them with their worthless money?

      You’re the one stopping progress.

        You say you want a revolution

        Well, you know

        We all want to change the world

        You say you got a real solution

        Well, you know

        We’d all love to see the plan

        You tell me it’s the institution

        Well, you know

        You’d better free your mind instead

        Don’t you know it’s gonna be… alright…

      Yeah banks are pillars of societal structure. Utility companies are our defense against wealth accumulation by the ultra wealthy. Without billionaires, who would defend the marginalized?

        You do realize I’m not defending rich people, right? There was no such thing in what I wrote.

        What I did was describe what happens when a society experiences systemic collapse.

        Without the structure, the rich get richer faster, and the poor die faster, that’s all.
