(24,979 posts)It's stunning that people who gain NOTHING from this crime, but who just watch this shit on CNBC or whatever, actually believe in the ideology so completely that they convince themselves Singer et al. are engaging in moral and admirable behavior.
Maybe it's not so stunning? After all, kings and conquerors have in their own times been celebrated for conducting massacres and genocides, etc. Columbus still has a federal holiday. Quite a few living war criminals are openly celebrated.
Of course, the vultures themselves KNOW otherwise. They can't afford to believe in Friedman-Rand fairy tales. They know there's profit in burning down cities, poisoning oceans, clear-cutting forests, so they do whatever it takes: why not make it by forcing starvation on some Argentineans you don't know? You'll never have to see them!
And what this really shows is that capitalism has run out of tricks and is only left with returning to its origins in the moral equivalent of cannibalism. This is how it "grows." Capitalism has nothing left to offer, it will continue descending into ever-worse moral depravity.
