i think anytime in history the elites took over beyond what the public could accept, their heads were chopped off.
how big someone else's bank account is has zero impact on my life or my ability to succeed.
it's 100% jealousy and whining.

of course they do.You can't honestly believe that, are you not taking into account how the wealthy influence politics/policy?
im very apathetic towards all of these points, valid as they are.point is, you can be manipulated through no fault of your own (particularly if you're poor). maybe in the center of the universe that is you this isn't felt much or at all, but it is happening everywhere. it's a literal game being played on humanity. it's not about yachts or private jets, it's about having control and keeping that control. if what's best for humanity as a whole clashes with the elites' power, the elites win by default. it's the same shtick over and over. capitalism, democracy, and the rise of 1st world nations made massive inroads into the power disparity for a time, but it is eroding quickly and probably accelerating. the most blatant sign of this is unjustified wars and warlike behavior. but so are the rise of megacorps and the denial of climate change, among others.
but maybe i've read too much stephenson
4 oclock smoke break at subway bro?pagy is a fukn sheep
have you ever considered maybe just getting a job, making a valuable contribution to society and earn the money you're craving?pagy spends 2000 words and two pages to say "fuck you i've got mine". this is a fine position valid for many, but it's corrupted by upper middle-class who think that because they have some spending money they are a target of wealth redistribution

Patrick Byrne: I ended up in the center of the Russian and the Clinton investigations. I have all the answers. I have been sitting on them waiting for America to get there. Last summer I figured out… what they all are is all about political espionage. It had nothing to do with law enforcement, it was all political espionage. Here’s the bottom line. There is a deep state like a submarine working just beneath the waves of the periscope depth watching our shipping lane. And a nuclear ice breaker called the USS Bill Barr has snuck up on them and is about to ram midship.
That’s about to happen and I think we’re about to see the biggest scandal in American history as a result. But it was all political. Everything you think you know about Russia and Clinton investigations is a lie. It’s all a cover-up. It was all political espionage.
David Asman: You think Bill Barr is going to get to the bottom of it.
Patrick Byrne: I think he has gotten to the bottom of it.
