How Money is Destroying the World

This article exposes the money system as a tool of structural and psychological domination. Rather than a neutral medium of exchange, money is analyzed as a weapon of accumulation and disconnection, tightly linked to ideological deception, trauma, and planetary destruction. Sosteric critiques both capitalist and debt-based economies as fundamentally anti-human systems that foster Toxic Socialization and Disconnection.
