The Leopards Ate My Face phenomena is in part caused by the mainstream media.
Media is a critical faction of democracy. ALL of this started all the way back with the freedom to own the digital rights of other humans in exchange for free email and search engines on the internet. This violation of fundamental human rights of self determination, unbiased information, and autonomy is the core issue that caused the world of today. It is what lead to the services economy dystopia, defeated news media and lead to news as entertainment, it caused the polarization, and lead to all corporate media owned by a handful of billionaires.
We are also the corruption of inherited wealth. Inheritance lacks meritocracy. Business acumen is not hereditary. Class boundaries inhibit those with real merit and capabilities. Just look at 47. He would have more money if he had invested all of his inherited wealth in government bonds and stayed on Epstein Island for good.
