• 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. But bold of you to assume the modern world will last that long.

        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.
