    The cruelty is the point.

    Their end goal is a population of moronic wage-slaves who are living a barely subsistence lifestyle that will believe anything told of them rather than challenging the wealth, power, and right to rule of the ruling class.

    They aren’t just conservative, they’re regressive. They long for the days of Feudal lordship with themselves cast as the lords.

      “The cruelty is the point.”

      I see this phrase often, and I disagree with it and I’m not sure why people keep repeating it.

      Cruelty: inflicting pain on others. This is not the point at all. They don’t wake up every morning and say “how can I cause more pain” on individuals or the general populace.

      They are almost completely indifferent to the suffering of others that they cause. They are simply greedy and selfish, they want all the money and power, so they can have it all to themselves. Fucking over everyone else is just the process to get and keep what they want. This is my opinion at least.

      “Cruelty is the point” is just silly, and absolutely wrong. I also feel like it misdirects talking about the true motive, which I think is mostly greed and selfishness. Cruelty is just a side affect they don’t care about.
