It has to be fucking taken by force, and I dont wanna hear any of your goddamn neoliberal whining about it. It’s not “the world’s billionaires”; it’s “world billionaires propped up by US monetary policy”. It has to stop. Bezos, btw, literally destroys companies and competition with a simple mouse click. He single-handedly controls the entirety of online commerce. One guy. Controlling EVERYTHING.
They took it by force, why can’t we?
I’m sorry that I whine about not killing people.
As someone that has taken beating after beating I’m not down with violence except the verbal type. But worry not they take crazy-ies like me out to fields, make us dig our own graves, and then shoot us into them.
So maybe I have a different view of “violence for change” than you do.
Bezos next
Musk still has a $122B lead on Bezos, and made $104B of it in the last 32 days.
He has a $122 BILLION lead, and he’s earned $133 BILLION over the past year.
His wealth has increased by 50% over the past year alone
I just have to say, we shouldn’t even be targeting musk with this; we need to be going after his family.
Once musk is out of the picture, they’re just going to inherit the wealth and continue to use it to gain more wealth as quickly as they think possible.
Keep in mind, as it stands right now, his kids expect our kids to serve them.
Why’re people downvoting you?
The system is working as intended.
Past time to change the system.
Those who benefit and think they benefit from it will fight back, though.
For what benefit?
Honestly, I think a lot of it is just to support the idea that those who have more, deserve more.
Useful idiots are in vogue. They live vicariously through their oppressors while working service jobs for scraps.
Unfortunately, only for their own benefit.
This is either a boring rhetorical question or a very confused one.
I mean, my wealth has more than doubled over the past decade. The stock market has been going absolutely bananas, and my retirement accounts have done well.
I guess when corporate media told us the economy was doing great, it was you they were talking to, and not the other ~80–90% of Americans.
OK for some I guess.
Everyone’s wealth doubled.
Why would you think that?
Because inflation and stock markets are going nuts. And since everyone working has their pension invested, their wealth went up as well. Plus house prices went up. The problem is that people confuse wealth with money. And wealth is not money. You can’t buy bread with wealth.
By definition if inflation doubles and the value of your estate doesn’t change, your actual wealth didn’t change.
your actual wealth didn’t change
Actually, it did—it was cut in half.
