• Musk, Gates, Bezos, and Zuckerberg all had multi millionaire parents that gave them “small loans” that catapulted them to billionaires. Now their fortunes, made in our lifetime by the labor of others, will be locked up for the next 400 years while people starve or die of preventable and treatable diseases.

      It really doesn’t have to be. The French figured this out a long time ago.

        The French also existed within the same reality that they could agree on.

        The right and left in America might as well be living in alternative realities… On the right they’ll defend this to the death, they’ll fight for Bezos as he crushes their local economies and they’ll lick musks boots as long as he keeps “sticking it to the libs.”

        Unfortunately they also got way too happy with guillotines and devolved into anarchy. Robespierre had his reign of terror, and then he had his own head chopped off.

        I’m not saying we don’t redistribute their wealth. Let’s just be careful to not do it in a way that leads to repeated redistribution because violence is normalized.

      As broken and deplorable as the people on that list are, you’re doing work for trump here by casually equating him with that lot. He’s not an actual billionaire. It’s as if you said, “look at the most eligible bachelors of all time… Marc Antony, Rudolph Valentino, Brad Pitt and Pepe Le’pew”

      One of them was adjacent to females to be sure, but he was a cartoon skunk rapist. Don’t help carry water for a cartoon skunk rapist.
