The graph (iirc about half way through maybe), with his added coloured blocks for the different eras lends some superb clarity to what's going on, the political philosophy shifting phases of accelerated worsening, and how bad it is, as in how much worse it is contrast to the worst time in history...
What we have now, makes the guilded age look like some kind of egalitarian paradi~~ well, maybe not paradise, but more egalitarian... much less egregious than would have been seen in the keynesian phase. How little they knew, of how much worse it could get, and was going to get. Pesky marketing, in rebranding same old corporate fascism as "neo-liberalism". Many likely not bothering with the term neo-feudalism, preferring the delusion there's anything "liberal" still going on. As if that limp thing were even enough to do any more than pretence on slowing down the consolidation of wealth and power even if it were what it's best definitions and ideals pronounce.
It’s hilarious how Musk is the wealthiest with multiple businesses that are actively failing and cannot make a solid case for their valuation without going into fantasy scenarios.
So now Musk is richer than the next four richest combined?
I think this is getting a little out of control.
He makes about $150,000,000 a day, passively from his assets.
Wealth tax now.
tax
You folks hate theory, huh.
The one percenters of the one percenters just got one percented.
(Actually it’s even worse than that I think.)
No its fine. No worse than having a single billionaire, really.
All billionaires should be stripped of their wealth over 999 million and given to the rest of the world
Hanged, just hanged
Impossible to do both. If you kill them somebody just inherits.
And or course the concepts of money and ownership must be preserved.
I love how Musks conpanies keep losing money yet somehow the stupid fake value just keeps growing.
I hate speculative capitalism so much
It's going to continue to accelerate to a kind of feudalism where they own everything. Democracy or even capitalism itself can't survive this.
Capitalism is this. This was always the logical conclusion when wealth and success were so intrinsically linked.
lmao glad someone said it.
here's hoping capitalism doesn't survive this.
Not unless we stop them.
How? I don't see them stopping until the supply lines collapse.
You don't see Brian Thompson making any more money for United Health, do you?
No, but plenty of other people do, and the person that shot him clearly hasn't been doing much else to "help".
So, either put your money where your mouth is, or stop spouting the same demagoguery bullshit and find an actually useful thing to suggest.
You think the removal of one system of government to institute another (even if that system is as little of a system as possible), along with a radical redistribution of wealth, happens without violence?
I may have a bridge to sell you.
Eat them, obviously 🍴
Do I have to? I feel like eating the muskrat is likely to cause a ketamine overdose.
Just make sure to boil him first, I'm pretty sure that should break down the chemicals, right? 🤔
Or just feed him to the pigs, either way 🤷
So did Musk win? Is he done now?
And the average person is not even a pixel.
This is a disaster awaiting to happen. We should prepare our communities for when SHTF

If they were going to stop on their own they would have by now
