Somehow They Get Convinced That Corporate Culture Can Be Reformed

From the inside out. Much like Liberals inside the Democratic party still think they can reform Capitalism from the inside out. But as Anand Giridharadas makes clear in his new book "The Elite Charade of Changing The World," it's a rigged game from the get go. Rigged by the very nature of how you can't change something fundamentally without also fundamentally changing so many of that system's most basic assumptions.

And all the while this is happening, these bright new minds are played upon by every aspect of what makes Capitalism so corrupting now; even as they struggle with the debt load they enter into this game with, which is certainly by plan; because being made a wage slave to debt also then serves to ensure that the individuals involved will find themselves ever more constrained by their own, ever more compromised, circumstances. Where eventually, certainly, they find themselves so bound up in it there can be only ever decreasing incentives to "rock the boat."

The real clincher here, though, is the tired resignation that finally results, or worse, the embittered rejection of change itself, and recourse to all of the ways to blot out the clamor of the soul, and spirit, that was prompting for change in the first place, so that very comfortably numb can take its place. Whereupon you naturally start getting angry at the poor people who still seek to remind you of your humanity.
