Do you believe they just keep afloat by draining our loosh?
As in they have demonic magic that allows them to use hate, despair and anger as methods to keep themselves afloat.
At this point I am convinced that they are sustaining themselves with supernatural means.
Human Institutions die QUICK to ignored criticism. Supernaturally-empowered organizations do not.
Bank implies "laid together"; rupture implies "broken apart"...
Being implies solids apart (life) within current solution (inception towards death)...others tempt solids together so that current/currency rips them apart.
In other words...being implies "rupture"; suggestions by others implies "bank", and ones consent to it implies "trust".
The magic is suggestion; ones consent is that which allows/permits it, and reasoning about suggested implies the hate; despair and anger within self; aimed at all others who also consented.
As for afloat...rising (life) within loss (inception towards death) requires one to resist perceivable, while consenting to suggested drowns one quicker.
The few aren't struggling to stay afloat; they effortlessly watch the many struggle to drain each other as quick as possible by consenting to aka holding onto suggested information, which burdens their mind/memory until they cannot physically keep up with the mental demands anymore.
To convince implies "to persuade or satisfy the mind by evidence; to subdue the opposition of the mind to truth" aka you consenting to suggested information, while holding onto it.
That implies you holding onto fiction; which makes the natural reality you ignore seem super-duper-mega-with a cherry on top-special to you.
In short...focusing ones sight on fiction; makes all the ignored reality seem supernatural. Specters floating around the corner of ones eyes...
