Capitalists want us to spend spend spend, but they don’t want to give us any money to spend.

The capitalists want you to spend spend spend, but they're a dying breed. The neofeudalists -- the group that really runs stuff at this point -- don't really care what you do because they're too busy extracting the wealth of the capitalists.

I guess it's like the difference between a parasite that doesn't kill the host, and one that does. The current breed looks like it's going to kill the host.

When you have so much capital, the only place to get any meaningful amount more from is the capitalists underneath you whose business you haven't turned into a dried out husk yet.
