Just thinking; maybe if people stop trying to get rid of political target and instead started target billionaires, then maybe, just maybe, the world would be a better place for everyone.
Just thinking.
I guess that's the main problem with billionaires, is we didn't pick any of them, and once they're a super billionaire we can't really do much about them.
Oh don't buy their products? They're invested in everything, most food brands are just different names for the same factories. Oracle billionaire? WTF are you going to do to protest Oracle? Politicians we, are supposed to, pick. Billionaires become billionaires generally by being the worst, then there isn't anything we can do about it.
So we need to get the politicians on our side to keep the billionaires in check... or violent revolution. I'm a pacifist so I like the first one more, but if the majority is up for the second one, I'm not gonna say ya'll are wrong.
Billionaires are a problem, but not the problem. Weath Inequality inherent in the economic system is the real enemy. Billionaires are only a symptom and a lightning rod.
Billionaires are a political target. It's not about forgoing ideology, but having correct ideology.
