Youre defaulting to well-debunked myths about human societies.

But that’s wrong:

No “money” is not what motivates humans. That right there is a table of the way neoliberalism debases human existence.

And no you don’t need to be a “saint” to avoid handing swords to a crazed maniac. You just need to be: human.

Klonda,

"No “money” is not what motivates humans." I'm a pragmatic sort. I've seen what happens to people with no money, and it isn't pretty, nor comfortable lying on park benches in the middle of winter. Maybe on planet 'Klonda', but on Earth no money means nada of anything, unless you happen to be living on a tropical island where sea food just jumps out of the water to feed the locals. Where I live, middle of winter means minus 40 below on bad days... zero on good ones... want some pictures... I got plenty... with some people frozen to death inside their tent.... although no pictures of that scene.... "family privacy" according to the law... Try the great outdoors in a Canadian winter and let me know if you would pay rent to get warm... ... and paying rents means MONEY.. the universal survival tool.

“ I've seen what happens to people with no money, and it isn't pretty,…”

Someone like Blinken is born rich. A neo baby. It’s not money it’s perverse neoliberal values that you are assuming and he was taught from birth.

The same is true of all these politicians. Biden was rich several decades ago.

This is just mass murder as an expression of dedication to neoliberalism and neocolonialism - that’s what Zionism is. Not “money”.
