@nickofnz Tax the greedy.

@nickofnz Luigi Mangione has the solution.

We're in a second Gilded Age and the oligarch objective is to control enough information and infrastructure to create a permanent monopoly based on State and individual dependency.
Individuals and govts can make a stand by no longer using US big tech, but how many people are prepared to give up their Facebook, Windows, WhatsApp, Apple, Google, Android, AWS, GCP, Azure, Xitter, BSky, Insta, ...?

@nickofnz
️ THANK you -
@nickofnz we should stop calling them "rich" and instead say "greedy"
When I was a child we learned about them in history class; we have straight-up ROBBER BARONS devastating the earth once again. But exponentially worse this time.

A lot of us, even if bit by bit

@_L1vY_ @nickofnz I mean they called themselves Kings and created huge rituals to mark themselves as special
But yeah they were ROBBER BARONS all of them
and to this day King Charles exempts himself from any law he doesn't like (including discrimination law, environmental protection etc)
There is a reason Trump wants to be a King

@nickofnz If you can not beat them, join them
You can't join them. They starve and burn everyone around them and you're not one of them.
Billionaire-posting not super welcome here; bye.

I'm hopeful.
Afterall, who would want to be living in a Gestapo-style police state with a smartphone providing real-time intelligence updates?

@nickofnz let's get them.

@nickofnz There should have never been private persons who are worth billions. It went wrong when we didn't properly tax those with millions banked. You don't need a billion to survive. That kind of money breeds madness in a person.
@RandamuMaki @nickofnz I wouldn't say that the money breeds madness - instead, I'd argue that madness - psychopathy - is a highly effective way to make that kind of money. If we don't tax the disgustingly rich, we rewaed the psychopaths.

Have been for centuries. Just that it's become more globalized and on a wider scale over the years.
