How the Elite Operate
Ever wondered why life is difficult?
The power of the elite does not rely on a secret plot to destroy the world. Instead, it relies on a shared class interest and institutional leverage.
The political elite needs campaign funding and favourable economic conditions to stay in power. The corporate elite needs laws, trade deals and tax policies that allow them to maximise profits.
The technocratic elite needs global stability to protect the financial system.
When these groups meet at places like Davos or under the Chatham House Rules, they form a consensus, and once that consensus is reached, it’s rolled out across different countries simultaneously.
This is why we often see completely different political parties in Western countries pushing identical economic policies such as high immigration, green transition taxes and massive corporate-friendly subsidies – regardless of what the public actually voted for.
The ultimate consequence is that the general population operates as the pawns on a chess board, absorbing the real-world financial shock waves of decisions made by an insulated global class.
One of the most frustrating aspects of the global elite is their tendency to mask absolute selfishness behind a veneer of benevolence.
When they meet at summits to push policies that lower domestic wages, increase taxes, or reshape energy markets, they rarely frame it as a grab for money or power. Instead, they use public relations campaigns to package these choices as saving the planet, promoting global stability or building a sustainable future.
This allows them to satisfy their narcissism by viewing themselves as global saviours, while their bank accounts and institutional leverage continue to grow at the expense of ordinary citizens.
The higher these individuals climb, the more blind they become to how transparent their actions actually are. In psychology and history, this is known as the Hubris Syndrome – a disorder of possession of power, particularly power which has been associated with overwhelming success, held for a period of years and with minimal constraint on the leader.
Because they operate in insulated bubbles, they genuinely believe their public relations campaigns and sophisticated jargon (like ‘fiscal consolidation’ or ‘demographic balancing’) masks their self-interest successfully. In reality, to the ordinary citizens experiencing the real-world consequences, the true motives are completely obvious.
The elite’s narcissism makes them believe they are writing history, but their predictable ruthlessness is actually instructing humanity on exactly how the global system operates. By overplaying their hand, they inadvertently force the public to wake up, question authority and seek alternatives.
Our problem is buying into this system of keeping ourself (a mental construct) occupied – which is the cause of suffering.
