    Remember how this has been going on for millennia? The rise of parasite classes who suck everything dry. And in getting rid of them humans somehow create a new parasite class whose sucking power gradually increases till everything falls to shit again.

    Time to come up with a better narrative.

        Next time we could try to not obey the next best chud who promises he will make it all better. We could put mechanisms in place that avoid accumulating riches. We could maintain smaller units of administration to keep our authorities closer to our pitchforks. Just some ideas.

        Teach how to detect narcissism and psychopathy in schools. Teach ways to detect and rebuff manipulation. If enough people avoid being victims of mind games, those parasites will never rise again.
