 No, my view does not ignore the complexity. It removes the sugarcoating that when present conceals the enslavement and robbing of all citizens while fooling them into harming one another. 
 It seems like we're dealing with a case of ideological tunnel vision here. Repeatedly ignoring or downplaying the complexities of financial crimes and regulations, while simultaneously accusing others of being "fooled" or "enslaved", suggests a lack of self-awareness and critical thinking. It's almost as if you're stuck in a feedback loop of confirmation bias, where you're only willing to consider information that reinforces your pre-existing views, while dismissing or distorting anything that challenges them. Intelligence (read I.Q.) is not just about having strong opinions, but also about being able to recognize and adapt to new information and perspectives. 
 You truly are interesting. You are like the core of the matrix itself typing here :) 
 Thank you! At least we can agree on the first sentence.
