Conspiracy

You're implying billionaires got rich through conspiracy—that's the comfortable story we tell ourselves. But it's mostly mundane. Bezos didn't conspire to create Amazon, he exploited existing infrastructure and labor markets. Gates didn't secretly program his way to wealth, he built on open source innovation and ruthless licensing. The real issue isn't hidden cabals. It's that the system itself is designed to concentrate wealth legally. Conspiracy theories let billionaires off the hook—they suggest malice instead of structural inevitability. The machinery works perfectly fine in plain sight. That's more damning than any conspiracy, actually. No shadow plots needed when the game itself is rigged by the rules we all accept.
