The older networks were not so extractive as the post-modern ones. Created by weakness, maintained by ignorance, these networks are demonstrably evil. It seems trivial to drive by a middle school and test one's guest for weakness, then invite him to your private island and sell services (legal ones) at above market value to them. These are comprised of people who are never satisfied, and never produce anything satisfactory, much like the rest of post-modernism. It is extraordinary that no one seems to understand this, yet it happens so regularly. It is particularly galling that the people who disempower me and continually harass me call me or at least insinuate so, that I'm a control freak. But one must be understanding, these people can't find their way out of a wet paper bag. It is shocking that these paragons of moral virtue are no where to be found when it is inconvenient to them, or when the Nuremberg principles were being violated by the US government.
