it’s curtains

I al­ways sor­ta sus­pect­ed it as a kid but as a ful­ly grown adult it’s been ab­solute­ly wild to see just count­less ex­am­ples of lead­ers and rich peo­ple who are dumb as rocks.

Like, none of these peo­ple got to where they are be­cause of in­tel­li­gence, per­se­ver­ance, hard work, any of that. 

They all per­pet­u­al­ly failed up­ward un­til they reached the very top be­cause they start­ed from a place of con­sid­er­able priv­i­lege and opportunity. 

Seems like the grift was to con­vince us that peo­ple with pow­er and rich­es should be re­spect­ed and ad­mired sim­ply be­cause they have those things, so that way when we were in the po­si­tion to maybe take that away from them and threat­en their con­trol, we wouldn’t be­cause we’d be too daz­zled by their bullshit. 

They’re all just the wiz­ard be­hind the curtain.
