I thought it might help give a where am I coming from for everyone
I don't know what i'm about to say here but I'll list a bunch of events of the last century and then weigh in on scamminess, and invite other people to add events and their own thoughts on the scamminess of each

WWI - scam. all sides were funded by the warburg brothers and many had queen victorias grandchildren as leaders. purpose, to feed secondary scams, create the fiat banking system, league of nations, both scams

prohibition - probably not a scam, but gave rise to organized crime

USSR - semi-scam. It was initially a globalist scam, became a weird distorted nationalism

Wiemar republic, also semi-scam, failed experiment
Nazis, scam. while addressing real concerns intitially, they were absorbing a nationalism and a socialism both of which were about something, and perverting it with mock nationalism and globalist agenda

WWII - scam. rockefellers and other american industrialists were funding all sides to aid the destruction of empires, pave the way for one world governance and the UN - another subsidiary scam.

WHO - originally staffed by nazis, was always a scam. first efforts were serial disasters in africa

NATO - another inherited nazi scam.

Korea - a real war about stopping the USSR or what was becoming sino-soviet red continent
Vietnam, the same, not a scam

Hippies. semi-scam. Real resistance that got co-opted by the CIA drug experimentation and fake political exercise

Television - a scam, mind control for the masses. Yes, I realize I'm posting this to a TV fan site

AIDS - at least part scam, not sure I by the full scam argument yet

the EU - total scam, part of a larger scam network of global governance and population control including related scams, the WTO, NAFTA, etc

gulf war - semi scam. someone was scamming, interfering for miscommunication to set up a bigger scam later, by creating a real problem

Internet - not a scam

Y2K - scam

Social media - a scam, centralizing communication apps into a hub doesn't serve any purpose other than to exploit laziness
amazon - scam, the same, there were many stores now there's one serves no function

google - initially not a scam, now a scam

iraq war - a scam. had nothing to do with WMD or 9/11 other scams, like afghanistan. which was a scam a decade earlier for the soviets

bitcoin - not a scam
bitcoin core blockstream now a scam, but the currency still works

arab spring - mega scam

obamacare - giga scam

covid - the ultimate world destroying scam. real disease, but disease and vax are both engineered bioweapons

okay, what'd I miss?

Edit:

Planned Parenthood? All population control is a scam

Covid, animal theory is a scam

Psyops, Occupy Wall Street, BLM, Antifa, Qanon all scams
"Election" was a coup, and a scam, sure. The "coup" was not a coup, also a scam.o
Everything related to this was a scam
W was a scam, as was Obama. Politics is a scam
National Political Parties are a scam, and illegal
Neoliberal/Neoconservative scam.
Gang of Eight is a total fucking scam
"But Russia" is a scam
Clintons were always a scam.
The suicide of all of Hillary's enemies is a scam
Jeffrey Epstein was a scam, and his suicide was a scam, but his lolita island and lolita express delivered actual lolitas for elites, so that classifies it as not a scam? I wonder how many lolitas it cost to buy public policy? Or public private contracts? The corporate contract reward per lolita probably made them the most expensive hookers or all time

OS2/Warp was not a scam, "Windows" was a scam, yes, obviously yes
Microsoft has been a scam from top to bottom

Border Closing, all the shutdowns of corona were a scam. A whole lot of the free money was a scam. this is also under corona scam

Illegal Aliens might be a scam. I doubt there's a flood of them, it's probably just a political football excuse

JFK Assassination was a scam.

Iran Contra was a scam

LGBT is a scam
intersectionalism is a scam
SJWs are a scam

Academy Awards are a scam

Biden's senility is a scam. I think he's sane

"Infoterrorist" arrests and charges were a scam
Julian Assange
Bradley Manning
Ross Ulbricht
Edward Snowden

There are better explanations for why the world is the way it is than calling everything a scam.

I suggest the book The Pursuit of Wealth: the incredible story of money throughout the ages by Robert Sobel. Download the book for free from the mirrors at https://libgen.unblockit.ch/search.php?req=Robert+Sobel

From the introduction to The Pursuit of Wealth:

The theory that informs this book is that in modern times, in the aggregate, wealth is the prime mover.

One need not look to western society alone to realize how wealth can motivate a people to labor and creation, and how its absence or removal can lead to stagnation. One of the more interesting examples of this is the Kwakiutl, a tribe that inhabited the northern part of Vancouver Island near the mainland of British Columbia at the turn of the twentieth century. The eminent anthropologist Franz Boas studied them and produced a report that foretold by a couple of generations what would come to be known as Keynesian economics. Boas’ problem wasn’t a lack of observational skills or analytical sophistication. Rather, he did not fully comprehend what he had witnessed.

The Kwakiutl were famous for the potlatch, in which competing clans met regularly to stage contests in which they demonstrated just how wealthy they were by destroying their most valued possessions: canoes, blankets, and fish grease. Boas noted that large copper plates were also thrown off cliffs, although he commented that the throwers would return later to gather the pieces. The blankets were the most important, for these were the common denominator against which all the other possessions were measured.

Boas understood why the Kwakiutl loved the potlatch, citing self-esteem and status as important elements. The Kwakiutl ranked themselves by just how much they destroyed.

Boas wrote of this in a report to the Smithsonian Institution in 1895. Four years later, economist Thorstein Veblen would produce his Theory of the Leisure Class, in which he gave us the term conspicuous consumption, which would seem to help explain the potlatch.

What Boas noted but did not comprehend was that the Kwakiutl were quite wealthy, far more than neighboring tribes. The reason was that they worked hard to accumulate those possessions destroyed at the potlatch. There was a strong element of competition present that encouraged productivity and excellence—and accumulation. The Kwakiutl developed a system of banking that featured rates that rose sharply according to the length of the loan and the creditworthiness of the borrower. In their search for greater and greater wealth, they even created a system of credit purchasing, with copper plates serving as “credit cards.” This too encouraged hard and imaginative work. Moreover, the system exhibited many of the aspects of modern reserve banking. Boas noted that in a village of 150 people, there were only 400 blankets, but debts were owed amounting to 75,000 blankets. If the lenders had called in their loans, there would have been what Boas termed a “disastrous panic.”

Distressed by what to them was the wasteful nature of the potlatch, Canadian authorities attacked the practice, suggesting it was deleterious to economic development. Despite some setbacks, the authorities succeeded. The potlatch fell into disfavor. The Kwakiutl turned to commercial fishing to fit into the larger economy. But without the economic spur of the potlatch, initiative declined. So did the Kwakiutl economy. With the best of intentions, the authorities caused grievous harm to the Kwakiutl.

Whether Boas knew of Bernard de Mandeville’s Fable of the Bees (1705) is unknown. This work dealt with how a prosperous, hardworking community fell into distress when they abandoned their profligate ways in order to save. The pursuit of wealth is fundamental to western civilization. It was there at the dawn of recorded history; and probably even before.

Yes, that is a move towards "everything is a scam" which I think true to come degree. At top levels of scams I think evolution is the primary motivator, and one often exploited, but economics is definitely a major one. Clearly brainwashing is one, both religious and political. Actual religion I would put way near the top, but I think top layer motivators like this affect the motivations of the scammers more than their audience.

So, if any scam is led by a scammer, then the structure would look like this:

Religion (eg fulfill the book of revelations, follow a vision, etc.)
Evolution (extermination of a competing genetic line, like the Nazis)
Power (subjugating masses under one command, like the Soviets)

After that there's What do the scammers motivate others with

Money is a huge one, the scammers typically mint money, so themselves cannot be motivated by it, but they construct their economies so that everyone needs it, to aid in the manipulation

Fear. A pending apocalypse can always be invented for the purpose. Global Warming, international terrorism, end times, overpopulation, an invading enemy.

Greed. Non-economic greed, feeding the desire for more resources or the consumption of resources that leads to CIA manipulations to "limit the population of Africa to prevent africans from consuming african resources because americans might need them" which is an obvious case of the greed I'm talking about.

Hope. A promise of a better future is an excellent scam manipulator. It's everywhere in charities and philanthropic exercises, even govt and corporate ones (let's build this country a railroad so that people can have access to food, water and medical care, was used by the IMF to build railroads they knew were going to be used for stealing resources in the above african theft)

Force. Totalitarianism is another and maybe last resort of manipulators, the stick of some threat if people do not comply, used by fascist regimes, and moderns ones, the EU, increasingly the US, much more than in most of the late century. threats of police action, limitation of rights or even fines can be used as threats that can open a chain of action that ultimately ends in violence against you if you continue to not comply.

This current scam is a mix of these. It's largely fear, of the virus, but there's hope, which causes people to try to "vaccinate" others (it's not a vaccine, so it needs airquotes) and then it's also Force. the threats of not being able to travel or visit public places, and at times here in NY there was discussion of actual concentration camps.

So, yes, there are motivators for both scammers and the scammed. But that doesn't mean everything is a scam. A great deal of everything we hear a lot about is a scam, because manipulating media into focusing on it (usually through money, sometimes through force) is part of the scam

I'm going to assume that you were heavily over-simplifying your bullet points and you know that this goes much deeper than merely exploiting laziness.

It might as well be crack the way it was designed.

Yes it was an intentionally lazy vast oversimplification.

WWII, Rockefeller and company funded the nazis to power, they funded the war machines, they precipitated the war, to destroy world powers, colonialist, the league of nations, and to establish the new united nations and secure a future economy based on their own family oil business. Sure, there were other things going on, but that's where "follow the money" led me. If you went into the scams of WWII it would fill a library.
