the rackets

A somewhat antiquated term for the general financial services industry, used primarily by older people in the “biz” as it is also called, but most specifically this term refers to the career of being a floor trader in the NYSE back in the 80s when trading was done without computers, and instead done by live calls and shouting. The “racket” would be essentially the commotion and chaos of that long-gone environment.
“It’s tough to make it in the rackets, but I didn’t do too bad for myself.”

A fraudulent re-labeling racket

That involves and will result a child sacrifice.
Hym "That is an apt way of putting it. It's 'a fraudulent re-labeling racket' Where you take me ideas, call them something else, and launder them out. And then, when someone questions you about it you can just re-label the person you're doing it to into a class of people who anything is justified against. A 'Neo-Nazi' and, therefore, you can ignore their rights. And when that doesn't work you can guilt by association fallacy the person defending them."
