    While I totally agree that it shouldn’t be stigmatized, “psyop by the central banks” is absolute fucking lunacy and there isn’t a single shred of evidence to support it.

      there isn’t a single shred of evidence to support it.

      Well, to be fair, what would such evidence look like? Would you like to see secret documents (conveniently found in a rich banker’s living room) that detail that single-family homes get easier credit benefits so that more people buy them? I’m afraid that kind of proof will be difficult to get hold of, if the banks or whoever might be behind it don’t show it to us out of their own free will.

      Who would look for such evidence? Who can pay for a search after that evidence? The banks won’t investigate themselves and find that they manipulate people.

      As such, it is directly natural that there is no proof. That doesn’t automatically make it wrong though, just without proof. The question is: is it likely? is it perceivable? is it consistent?

      But it is. Just like the diamond industry pushed the whole wedding ring bullshit. Just follow the money. It’s all the corporations wanting to bleed you dry.

      For some it’s getting you to live alone, for others it’s to send you into the military to fight for their interest.

      It’s all the same bullshit. It’s never a straight line to THIS guy did it, it’s just the neutral emerging result of capitalism gone amok.
