That’s what happens when you let people accumulate too much capital.

Capital = power

Should be a 100% wealth tax rate beyond a few hundred million. No individual should have billions of dollars in unelected, unaccountable power. And no one earns those kind of sums either.

Not like the truth matters though. Oligarchs like Musk own this fucking place and both parties have spent half a century dismantling any possible means of reigning in their power over our government, our media, and us.

You joke, but have you heard about yacht support vessels. Essentially a second yacht for the personell to live and sleep on, and stow all the toys like jetskis so you have room for a bowling alley and other essentials on the parent yacht. It is also faster than the yacht in question, so they can clean up if the yacht leaves and arrive ahead of the parent on the new location to setup already.

You say it has always been class warfare?

With government a conquerable island of agency amidst the sea of struggle?

Do tell, player.

I take it you skipped social economic studies. Perhaps you’re a tad confused as it may have been commonly known as racism up until recently when it was admitted favourable to white people holding a certain class.

And yes, it has been a warfare in a very aggressive way.

No shit Sherlock. We’ve been saying this for decades. Letting the nobles accumulate too much wealth has been a security risk for the state since Hammurabi’s time. People think democracy is some kind of a divine fucking shield and it just isn’t.

Honestly, id do just about anything to see him fight Putin, or the zuck. Id do even more to make it a hardcore match, and even more if it was a thunder dome match with Putin and zuck vs Elon and Trump.

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.
