There are a lot of reasons for the downfall of the #USA but a big one is the purchase of traditional #media by plutocrat goons

@benroyce
Who is us? Are all fears fungible? Is all wealth fungible? Given that everyone has gotten richer over time anyway, how do you disambiguate? If I accrue resources I don't want and can't use, is that becoming wealthy? If that wealth is consistent in the aggregate but precarious for any one person over the continuous period of time they are building it, such that a different 0.5% of the population periodically lose literally everything, and 5% of them languish until they die out of each batch, is the aggregate wealth concealing anything? I would feel better if that kind of poverty didn't correspond to disappearing. Disappearances are obfuscations. Obfuscations are always capitalized on. Epstein Island was a lot of complexity and coordination to make the world into hell for a few hundred people. What other things like that exist? "Almost everyone has consistent, instantly revocable access to a minimum basket of good under capitalism" gives me anxiety even if line go up -
@benroyce The "us" in the headline is billionaires.
What a load of horseshit!

@benroyce Published twelve years ago so hopefully they don't publish the same shit with a slightly different tone. This paper is still bullshit owned by Bezos too.

@benroyce Propaganda so blatant you can taste it. Mmm. Shit.

@benroyce if only there was a country that avoided wars for many years, we could then check if it’s much poorer as the surrounding ones.
I suppose a small neutral one in Europe that was poor in the 19th century could do the trick. Sadly that does not exist.
