Ep. 24- Dead Peasant Insurance: The Dark Side of Corporate Life Insurance

What if your employer secretly profited from your death? In this episode of The Paranoid Perspective, we dive into the disturbing world of dead peasant insurance—a little-known practice where companies take out life insurance policies on employees without their knowledge and collect the payout when they die. Originally intended to protect businesses from the loss of key personnel, this strategy expanded into something far murkier—profiting from the deaths of low-level workers. We break down how it works, the history behind it, and the ethical (and legal) questions it raises. From big-name corporations to lawsuits and loopholes, this episode uncovers the dark side of capitalism hiding in plain sight.Extra Intel:Capitalism: A Love Story documentarySurveillance Feed:Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61571915435705Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_paranoid_perspective/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theparanoidperspeBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/paraperspective.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheParanoidPerspectivePatreon: patreon.com/TheParanoidPerspective
