late-stage capitalism

Believing in "meritocracy" makes you act like a dick

Make no mistake “capitalism” got us here, but the system we currently live under is feudalism. Power and position are overwhelmingly decided by inheritance. Ownership is overwhelmingly restricted to the elites. Religion upholds the ruling party as long as it receives a cut. Two laws operate, one for the underclasses, with harsh retibutivism, the other obsessed with civility between the elites and easy rehabilitation with a nominal show of piety. Etc.
