I can't tell which end of the bell curve I'm on here lol
One side is the conspiracy nuts, the ones that don't really believe anything specific, just some vague idea of an "illuminate" type that influences the world using money. Usually none of the ideas are actually "wrong" on their own and in a vacuum, but the way they're mixed together is always batshit, and you can't really talk or reason to these people, and they can never really explain who is in control.
Then the other side, also believes that money isn't real, but in the way that debt on a macro scale just... doesn't matter. The only reason it does is because of powerful people with massive egos, who carry a pecking order of like-minded people who think they'll be next in line to live like kings. That all the countries could just look at their balance sheets, and just say "fuck it, don't worry about the debt." Basic needs like housing, energy, oil, none of it really matters, and at any time we can drop the whole charade about debt and just... be good neighbors, and we could all get on with our lives, and never worry about owing debts.
Of course the second point will never happen without exploring new systems of government, but is theoretically possible.
