The sad, despairing truth is that all this crime, all the treason, all the betrayals of the Constitution and dignity and duty and basic human decency comes down to money. And a depressingly meager amount of money at that.
It’s time to start looking at Trump and Putin and all this chaos through the lens of corporate logic. We’ve been trying to understand it as political, but it’s not. Politics has become just part of a synergy, a lever or a product among many levers and products.
It helps to think of a corporation spanning the world. Nations become headquarters, not homes, and balance and power can shift from one continent to another depending on laws, taxes, political movements. Sovereignty never even weighs into it. Humans never weigh into it.
What matters is the trajectory of the corporation. Politics becomes a hindrance to profit and so it’s consumed and essentially done away with as much as possible. We’re not dealing with political people. We’re dealing with a post-political philosophy.
