At the late stage before governments fall, there’s no connection between what’s legal and what’s right. From el gato malo at boriquagato.com:
explorations of the ESG/DEI crony corporatist grift
consider the possibility that most of what is currently going on in the world today is not about social movements but rather about metastasizing legal plunder as it becomes the predominant business model of “big business” as enabled by “big government.”
as we engage in such considerations several salients should be kept in mind as they form the evolutionary drivers of this emergent system:
- big business is no fan of free markets and never will be. big business is a fan of staying big and the best way to do so is not to invite competition but to quash it. they seek not to create markets governed by consumer sovereignty bur rather to bet on sure things mandated by edict and regulation. politicians and legalism are always the tools for this.
- gato’s first law tells us: “as soon as you allow politicians to determine that which is bought or sold, the first thing bought and sold will always be politicians.” this law remains undefeated in predictive power.
- gato’s postulate (admittedly a more speculative proposition but one rapidly gaining heft and evincing prognostigatory power) asserts that “a democratic government powerful enough to dictate that which is bought and sold will inevitably devolve into rule by rube.” you can read its derivation HERE. it becomes increasingly difficult to argue that we have not wound up with government where the people running the scam not only have no conception that they are running a scam but have subsumed their entire identities into it. they are made dangerous by their encyclopedic ignorance of how anything actually works and their determined belief that the echo-chambers they inhabit are consensus reality.
