      The ruling class is allowed to inflict infinite violence upon you, but the moderators here do not allow for you to suggest the ruling class shouldn’t have a monopoly on violence.

      It is typical liberal behavior, enforcing the status quo for no reason other than civility.

    Ask guy for thoughts about critics against thing he’s profiting from.

    He responds with “they’re wrong.”

      promptly ignored.

      That’s what the oligarchs want…

      He has your money, and if you want it now vote JG Wentworth 2028.

      Because unless we take our money back, they’re just gonna fucking keep it.

      Edit:

      Because people might not know that commercial:

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HX0fIi3H-es

      Point being that’s the only thing we should say to oligarchs, if we say nothing they win

      So every time you see a billionaire, say “bitch, where’s my money”.

      Don’t let them talk about anything besides they have our money.

        Sadly the inescapable physical truth of convex vs concave lensing still relentlessly holds its tenacious grip on reality, despite the billions of dollars these folks have accumulated they have still, thus far, been unable to alter that particular aspect of reality.

        The only solution I can offer for Jeff Bezos is to begin forming his skull inwards somewhat so that any captured light can reach a proper focusing point. As as astronomer with some experience with such reflective optical surfaces, I’d be happy to begin the grinding and polishing process for you at any time, I’ll just need you to hold him still while I work. It’s a very precise process.

        I assume his head is mostly thick skull surrounding empty space anyway, so I think there should be little harm done.

          just make the light source more concave than his head is convex!

          maybe. or just use a [REDACTED]

            A high power laser? That feels like it might work. Perhaps we should start experimenting on Jeff Bezos’s head to see what works best.

      And he loves it! In another article (possibly about the same interview) he praised Trump for being so much more assertive in his second term.

      edit: oh, you meant actual Mussolini, not Mango Mussolini 😳

        Too dangerous. They have lots of sycophants who would lay down their lives for them. As long as they live they are a threat.

        Fair enough.

        Personally I think culling the entire Epstein class and dragging their corpses until every major cities’ municipal boundary can be seen from space would send a more effective message.

        Dip them in liquid nitrogen and christen their yachts before we scuttle them.

        Hang them by their feet from a crane and see how many it takes to demolish a building.

          Billionaires became billionaires by ruining the life of dozens of thousands of people each. They should have plenty of time to regret that before their end, that’s my take

            Fair enough.

            I personally don’t think anyone with the capacity to become a billionaire still has a conscience with which to regret or introspect.

            Meanwhile based on my reading of history, exiling/imprisoning oligarchs works in their favour in the long run.

    It Is Difficult to Get a Man to Understand Something When His Salary Depends Upon His Not Understanding It

    I’d imagine this applies even more to billionaires who make the average person’s salary every minute.

    “The top 1% of taxpayers pay about 40% of all the tax revenue, and the bottom half pay 3%,” Bezos said. “I don’t think it should be 3%. I think it should be zero.”

    “People sometimes say that, you know, I don’t pay taxes. Not true. I pay billions of dollars in taxes,”

    “You could double the taxes I pay, and it’s not going to help that teacher in Queens. I promise you.”

    WT-absolute-F? I think he got oxygen-deprived in space.

      well, in the USA this is probably true, all the money would be diverted into more military spending or tax breaks for stupid filthy rich people

        which is why we need tax money being spent on the communal level. not the federal level. it’s the fed gov that spends it on the military, it’s the municipality that spends it on schools.

      He promised!

      Seriously though, does he think that a) Bezos and Bezos only gets taxed double and b) that wouldn’t go along with social policy?

      What a dumb wacko, high on sniffing his own farts. Probably partly due to a fawning interviewer.
