Understanding how a system works matters more than knowing who runs it. Names change. People get replaced. The person at the top hires someone, uses them, and moves on — the system stays the same.
If you learn to spot the clearinghouse pattern — who sits in the middle, who sets the rules, what moral cause justifies the rules, and what conditions are attached to your money — you can recognise the system no matter who is running it next time.
Ten people who really understand the pattern and explain it on are worth more than a hundred thousand who are angry and do nothing. The system wants you angry, because then you don’t think rationally. The system wants you presented with scapegoats, because then you erroneously believe the issue is fixed when politicians and billionaires collapse in the media spotlight.
The only thing the system does not want from you is comprehension.
