Brien, You know that money, of itself is not the problem. The "fuel and the engine" has been the age old human weaknesses. Never just one, the whole gamut to choose from. We are the answer and the problem.

If you’ve ever raised a child you know that the child is the problem. But you raise it up in the way it should go, nevertheless.
I can’t remove the person, or undo the Fall. But I can take the money away, or I can shut down the Central Bank, the money printer(like Milei is doing in Argentina).
It is the love of money that is the root of all evil, is it not. What you are saying is that if I take the money away the “love” remains, that it will go somewhere else. Perhaps so, but that somewhere just might not cause all the mischief that all this money has. That is my bet. Totalitarianism ends up needing a lot of cash.
These billionaire oligarchs, the would be totalitarians, could not have done this without a great deal of money, more of yours and mine than of their own. The money comes first.
The world could not have been corrupted like it has been without the corrupting influence of money. This regardless of ideology or mindset.
If a doctor thinks he’s going to lose his job if he speaks up about medical malpractice, he might just look the other way. 97% of doctors did so in the past 4 years. They looked the other way because they put money and prestige(inseparable bedfellows) before ethics and moral uprightness. It wasn’t about a political mindset. It was about money. That is how money corrupts so many.

Well of course

Totalitarianism needs a lot of unconsiousness, and willing subjects to comply, then comes the cash.
Disagree

We are so close; How did those billionaire oligarchs get their money and why? The mindset came first and then the money.
Not on the same page I’m afraid.

But why did the doctors cave, money or lack of consciousness? Money in some form has always existed, trade etc. Fear is the big boogie man.
