see the thing is I don't so much believe in conspiracy theories as I just look at the side effects of categories of industry working together and go 'well even if they don't consciously realize this is the purpose of their work, it's definitely doing this thing and because it makes money they're gonna keep doing it'
yepppppp. from a cybernetic perspective the motivations of the people involved are irrelevant, an oppressive social structure as a whole has its own "motives" even if nobody who's part of it understands what they're doing
