"Western civilization" is touted, especially by white nationalist racists, as progressive and abundant, but in fact, it's a history of a few seeking power over many, becoming in effect, gods, or God, less the benevolent aspect. Only the power. "Benevolence is for schmucks," in effect.
We've had kings, high priests, popes of the de' Medici ilk, dictators, cult leaders, all playing on "inequality" of one sort or another, and gaining privilege over others. More recently, scientists and engineers with warped personalities playing God as in "Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." with that God-like power to destroy, and His Holiness Sam Altman deigning to take away thought.
The wealthy have always wanted privilege beyond ordinary people, to do what's forbidden and wicked. They are Gods and like Norse gods, free to have sex with mere mortals as they wish.
I have felt that the main attraction of a cult, or an organization like the mafia is the "legitimizing" of some forbidden "fruit" such as theft, murder, hate, racism, xenophobia and misogyny, all so commonly seen this time of year, as idiots foist their "dirty privilege" on family members "at the table". ( https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220807220 ) being as obnoxious and vile as possible.
But it comes at a cost. In the mafia, "nobody leaves alive" or with the magafia, they lose their dignity, opportunity, health and money.
It's like this:

Other than car makers Henry Ford and Elon Musk MERELY worshiping Hitler (and only Henry got a Nazi medal), there's that "privilege" again. Californians knew for a long time about the degenerate Bohemian Club, and for others, there's the movie "Eyes Wide Shut" by Kubrick, in which the wealthy indulge in secret debauchery.
Now, it's finally out in the open, interestingly, provoked by bullshit conspiracy theories about the radical left child abduction scheme.
Perhaps the hidden reason why the anti-oligarchy tour has had resounding success all over the country, including deep red districts, is the realization, beneath the brainwashing, and the adoration of the rich by the media they own, that they are f***ing us over, and maybe kids, too.
Now, the wealthy haven't cornered the market on debauchery and atrocity. They just don't want TO BE EXPOSED.
And exposed they are.
The fall of the Andrew formerly known as Prince was the tipping point. He was taken down not by secret evidence locked in a vault by the DOJ ( Defenders of Jeffrey) but by the posthumous publishing of a book by a victim.
Evidence will come forth that can't be shielded by the servants of oligarchs.

The ages-long history of inequality and privilege won't go away overnight, but equality is creeping into the consciousness of the public, long used like a dishrag to wipe away the sins of the wealthy.

Even without these images I snagged off the internet ON BILLBOARDS. (hint)
But if the Trump/Epstein matter does it, fine.
I like billboards.
