Interesting question regarding the politics controlling the money or the money controlling the politics. I don't know.
I have been thinking about the difference between evil and unknowing. It is to easy to characterize everyone as either good or evil. I think there is the unknowing. So there is good, evil and unknowing. I started thinking about it when that Kanye West spoke out.
I may be babbling now, so I will stop.
That's exactly what they are. Takes substantial capital to start and maintain, so reserved for elites.

The answer is "both." That's the loop.
Thinking about this, I'm wondering if the "unknowing" group is larger than the good and evil groups put together. Most people haven't a clue what we see every day here on FR and other conservative sites - they are, to some degree, trained robots that have been misinformed through their entire schooling years by teachers that also likely fit the bill of being "unknowing".
You're not babbling - you're on to something here.
