Caitlin Johnstone: Capitalism elevates the worst among us. The ones who will claw their way to the top under this system are the most ruthless and sociopathic members of our society who are willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead. They then use all their power to advance their own interests and manifest their own vision of how they think the world ought to be, which is always going to be horrible and detrimental to our species because they are horrible people. When you create a system where sociopathy is rewarded with wealth and where wealth equals power, you're naturally going to find yourself being ruled by sociopaths. The sociopaths won't stop being in charge until we dismantle the system which turns them into royalty. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
