“You don’t need a formal conspiracy when interests converge. These people went to the same universities, they’re on the same boards of directors, they’re in the same country clubs. They have like interests, they don’t need to call a meeting. They know what’s good for them.”
-George Carlin, from an episode of Politically Incorrect
There are powerful classes of people that oppress you, but not because they go to secret meetings where they plan to, power/capital simply tends to corrupt.
And from our perspective it feels coordinated because the capitalist’s punches all come from the same direction: downward from above.
The truth is, they’ve bled us dry and have begun to turn on and eat one another having conquered the board with little room left to grow/metastasize. That’s why entire economic sectors are turning into TimeWarnerHBODiscoveryParamountSoonEtc…
I think the ruling class “controls/exploits some things” and they are “in control” is the difference? Like yes they have bled us dry with their grip but as WikiLeaks, Epstein, Panama papers etc suggests, they weren’t really “in control”. Right now, there’s a decent chance that Pakistan falls to the Taliban and their nukes will be in their hands - is actually anyone “in control” of this situation?

Source? The Pakistani military had enough control over the country to replace the former PM with the current guy. Now I’m not saying this is a good thing, but I don’t see the Taliban beating them in an open fight.
The military could control the country but the Taliban can resort to much dirtier tactics than a proper military. So I think there’s some decent chance.
That’s the TTP, a small fundamentalist group in Pakistan. They do occassional terrorist attacks in rural northwest Pakistan, and those are of course horrible to those affected, but they aren’t challenging the power of the state. They’re also unrelated to the Afghan Taliban, with whom the Pakistan military has a neutral to good relationship.

I’ll admit I saw it on Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@philipdefranco/video/7322234507183164718
But I searched and found articles for example - https://www.voanews.com/a/pakistan-seeks-us-help-against-pakistani-taliban-in-afghanistan/7397076.html they talk about the attacks on the military.
