>>2545238you fucking retard. you think the government is in charge of anything? why does a horsefucker literal
troon know more about politics than you people.
Listen fagglet. The government doesn't control shit. The stock market and rich people don't either. All investment capital started in early banking establishments built around one thing and one thing only: insurance. The slave trade /pol/ and redditors seeth eternally about? 90% of all of the profits from that are still tied up in loyds of london. And that's not even the beginning of it. Insurance companies did the equivalent of mining the miners, skimming off the profit of merchant companies by leveraging themselves as middlemen to a multitude of investors, at a time when it was considered illegal for Christians' to do any of it in many places. These companies land their profits are the new world royalty. their dynasties lay privately beneath the entire fabric of society. The entire us government could be slaughtered to the last man and unless these guys where dealt with nothing would change. It doesn't even matter which side of the political spectrum you larp to be on (it's all a puppet show anyway). The reparation money joggers seeth about? these guys still have all of it. they where instrumental in establishing and creating the federal reserve. They own you and everything you lay eyes on.
you want to talk about magic internet money. nothing tops the wealth generated by this brief period of colonial trade. do you not remember all the times you where told in school these voyages where considered a success if even one ship of many made it back? imagine if you could just throw money into a game company, and they churned out 10 titles, one of which was basically guarantied to do more than cover all the losses on 9 complete flops. thats the kind of market it was.
