In Our Skin…
How the Rich Display their Power

A few days ago, I did a post about Historical Serial Killers, and I commented on how many of them were in positions of power, with vast riches, and perhaps as a consequence of that they put little value on the lives of the masses. Today, many of the world’s richest people gain their riches at the expense of our health and well-being, and often at the expense of our lives, which are routinely thrown away in conflict in the interests of the politicians and corporations who will reap the benefits of rebuilding a decimated society in their image. The amount of money being poured into the coffers of the 0.1% is stunning and offensive considering the state of the world economy today and the number of people who are spiralling into poverty worldwide. But let’s say $27,000 is just a drop in the pool for you, what do you spend your money on? Well, one thing you can treat yourself to is a pair of human leather shoes, so that when you step out of your private jet, instead of having to lay out a pathway of slaves across the tarmac, you are literally walking on human bodies. Or perhaps you fancy a human leather wallet for $14,000, so that you can stuff your black and gold cards up the ass of your fellow human beings? Or you can hold your freshly pressed trousers up with a $15,750 human leather belt, and then loosen it when you have eaten a meal that costs more than I make in one year. Sound disgusting, disturbing, revolution-inspiring? Then I don’t think you are the target clientele of [Hu]man Leather, makers of “exclusive, high quality items for a selected clientele…[made out of] skin sourced from normal everyday people.” I am considering asking the CVLT Nation readers to donate to a special cause – do you think [Hu]man Leather can source fetal or baby leather? We can commission a cute little fetus skin onesie for the new UK royal baby, with much love from the CVLT Nation community! What do you think?
