I’m not even suggesting they be adjusted, because I’m not a sociopath like they are. Use an economic guillotine, confiscate their exploitation gotten hoards for the commons(yes nationalize essential industries like utilities and Healthcare so they’re owned by society), reshape the economy to stop rewarding speculative gambling with exploitation gotten chips over honest labor and vocations like teachers that keep civilization running, obviously institute a maximum wealth cap as other people live in this society, bring their ego score to zero for their murderous greed, let them keep $20 and give each of them a set of literal, cheap bootstraps, and let them get a real job.
Bar them from forming any kind of corporate entities or investing in anything other than a standard savings account for life, just as people convicted of computer crimes are sometimes barred from operating computers as they’ve proven they’re a danger to others with them.
I’d be shocked if half of them didn’t take themselves out of the equation suddenly being subject to the same reality as their current livestock.
I never didn’t when I reached the age of reason and saw the social tolerancecelebration worship of unchecked avarice as the core rot in our civilization for what it is.
Im glad so many are finally overcoming their capitalist “greed is rational and your lessers have to lose for you to win” programming, even at this late hour as the capitalists burn the very world under our feet… and your grandmother who needs a hip replacement or chemotherapy alive… for another nickel on their hoards.
When one of your hobbies becomes finding new and interesting ways to make the same points at clouds and brick walls on the internet, as mine has, you come to find efficiency in eloquence.
It helps me to at least feel like I’m holding onto my sanity in insane times.
You are sincerely welcome! I thought that whole comment of yours distilled a lot of our/my frustrations down to a few hard-hitting sentences.
I mean, I could have just as easily used this one:
capitalist “greed is rational and your lessers have to lose for you to win” programming
I think every other sentence you write could be used as an answer on Jeopardy and the question would always be “How is so much so wrong with the world? It doesn’t have to be this way!”
Also, only about 28,000 hundred-million-plus-inaires on Earth.
For perspective, significantly more Palestians have already been casually genocided by our bestie trade partner in that current conflict.
The blight upon our civilization of billions is not that large.

So… You want socialism?

I love this phrase. It covers a lot in so few words.
Unfortunate that it describes the actual world rather than some dystopian YA novel.
Thank you sincerely!

If I had less morals or more energy, I’d give you a hundred upvotes.
I do, and I’m tired of pretending I don’t.
