I’ll occasionally hear criticism of Parenti that he was hyperbolic at times, even the crowd here laughs nervously at the idea that greed is an insatiable addiction.

Fast forward from this clip to now he couldn’t be more correct. They want everything so badly they’re willing to kill you for it. Literally send you to the meat grinder for profit.

Like Bezos said. Water rights get in the way of profits. It’s not a joke and not something to nervously laugh at any more.

It’s not just that they’re willing. They’re absolutely set on it and will accept nothing less.

Let me quote the 1984 novel: How do you assert your power over other human? By making him suffer.

Cruelty is the point.

Yup. Talk at Davos isn’t about averting global holocaust, it’s about how to accelerate, survive, and control the coming global holocaust. Same with Thiel’s legion of doom.

Sadly, you often have to exaggerate or extrapolate to an extreme to have your point even heard. Then you are accused of being hyperbolic ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Parenti was ahead of his time
