> CEOs are evil.

Worse, they are evil because the system filters out anyone who has any kind of empathy. If they don't maximize profits, they are immediately replaced by someone who is more psycho than them, who will maximize profits without blinking at any human or societal cost.

> They do this actively, and effectively by spreading "free-market" propaganda and continually steering the conversation away from the realization of a more equitable society, which is already technologically feasible.

Moreover, they do this as the predicted collapse of capitalism due to the majority not being able to get any economic value out of the system to be able to buy products and services, happens in front of their eyes. There are products, but people don't have the money to buy them. The system collapses, but what the execs are doing is maximizing short-term profit because what happens afterward is "Someone else's problem".
