34. It's the great reset theory the Tech Bros and many Nationalists follow.

1. Despite what that fuddy-duddy Adam Smith teaches, Democracy is an enemy to Capitalism. If a Capitalist cares about anything but collecting as much wealth and resources as possible, they aren't a good Capitalist. The "average person" just gets in the way of squirting Capital.
Capitalism is the best system to gather resources in, because people need to work both harder and smarter than anyone else to best collect and use resources.

2. A free market should have no rules or responsibilities , just making wealth. There are no real successful products to be sold or customers that need to be satisfied, there are just consumers. Consumers, and the Providers that consume them for wealth.

3. Masses are Asses. If you don't have spending money for anything you want, you're part of the masses. And there doesn't need to be so many of you, so you need to be winnowed down to those who can pay and those who need to start to pray, because empathy is a moral sin that leads to trouble and failure.
Corollary - If you're subscribed to a free service, you're the product being sold.
Once a product outlives it's usefulness, it needs to be disposed of, or it will damage the system.

4. The best government is one run by smart technocrats investing in progress.
Q- Why? A. - Because it makes makes lots of money by allowing me to convince people that because I'm rich and technologically on top of things, they need to buy all my promises and shit. And kiss my ass, call me smart and respect me as a great guy.

Oh, By the Way - Masses are Asses, and Objective Capitalism is the best system, because you rise and fall on your own results ...
