They don’t actually give a fuck about cruelty imo because they don’t see worker drones as people. Ensuring the working class is on the edge of crisis is the point. They want people to be hardly making it, but enough to keep going, so they’ll work endlessly and accept crappy conditions. They want people to be deluded by propaganda and not have the energy or time to seek political change. Making money and retaining power is the point.
Yes, that’s been their platform for decades. The cruelty is the point

Ecomonic Advisor: Charles Dickens.
Dickens gave the capitalist scathing criticism, so maybe one of his villains such as Scrooge.
