In today’s edition of Dark Markets, I trace some of the resonances between fascist political manipulation, and the tactics fraudsters use to attract and defraud the vulnerable.
These include:
-The Myth of the Heroic Genius
-The Desire of the Other
-Empowerment of the Worst
-Appeals to the Disempowered
-The Cruelty of Hope
As we watch a known fraudster manipulate a great power, it’s time to reckon with the true consequences of rampant financial fraud: not just isolated losses, but an entire society psychically traumatized into handing power to its worst actors.
