Those in power don't care about the innocents they kill, the genocide their system causes, the suffering, the bigotry, the inequality.

They are simple-minded. To them, the world is a game of kill or be killed, and they won. They don't care or care to understand that their "winning" will kill them too eventually. They live in a fantasy world where the only rule is take until you die. They will use every tool that the system rigged to favour them has given them. You cannot shame them into submission. To them, if they submit they die and It's you or them. Don't try to convince them otherwise, to them your words are a trick to win and become just as sick as they are.

Take, consume until it's all gone, move on, take, consume, move, take, consume, move.

The only thing they know how to do is take a beautiful creation and turn it into death.

The worst part is that they don't want to be any better.

They are broken human beings that eat their own children, their own species, a cancer, and if we let them they won't stop until the species is dead. Until everything is dead and there is nothing left to kill.

Because, after all, we must resign ourselves to the inevitable and say to ourselves, once and for all, that the bourgeoisie is condemned to become every day more snarling, more openly ferocious, more shameless, more summarily barbarous; that it is an implacable law that every decadent class finds itself turned into a receptacle into which there flow all the dirty waters of history; that it is a universal law that before it disappears, every class must first disgrace itself completely, on all fronts, and that it is with their heads buried in the dunghill that dying societies utter their swan songs.
