I don't really think that eg "20% of Shell is owned by financial institutions" is quite the control statement you think it is, and that's assuming it's not the stock being owned by a financial institution's members through it.Mantis42 posted:It's all the same people even if it isn't the exact same corporations. Any sufficiently wealthy person is going to have a diverse stock portfolio and only a small percentage of the population is going to be that wealthy. It's a class dictatorship. Which is very distinct from the explicit argument put forth by thread OP and the tiktok, which postulates what amounts to a conspiracy controlling the world by dint of owning it in a fairly unified fashion. Even at the "1% of the population owns 20% of the wealth" level (which shouldn't really exist), you kinda have to move from concerted-organized-conspiracy, everything-is-controlled-by-a-tiny-number-of-people, to class interests, corporations as psuedo-AIs, and squabbling factions. One percent of the US population is three and a half million people, that's not an easy group to actively coordinate.

I, for one, would love to hear more of that, Necrobama. and actually the tiktok analysis thing too, whether in this thread or tech nightmares or what have you, but if you've got a topical research thing on quasi-organized wage suppression ready to go, even better

Discendo Vox posted:That's also not...like do you not know what an ETF is? You're complaining about the existence of stocks and retirement funds. You're describing a "dictatorship" of half of the adult population. I'd like you to elaborate on this some too if possible - I posted about my understanding of a broad outline but if you're more familiar with the structure and implications of populace-wide investment that is obviously very topical.
