ETA: I made this comment before the author clarified they were being sarcastic.

I'd propose that if you made more of an effort to be empathetic with people who lack access to wealth and privilege, you'd understand better the criticisms of centralizing power and power structures in general.

"You don't understand because you can't see my perspective" goes any which way, and so is not an argument. If their are artifacts of your perspective that we need to form a full and coherent view - then share them with us. If you're just looking to be patronizing and dismissive because you only value a certain perspective - then please reconsider.

Pretty sure the parent comment was just missing a /s

There's a big difference between centralized power and coordinated action facilitated by wise leadership.

The latter does not require the former, contrary to what some people might say -- those who wish to hold unfettered power, or those who wish to be ruled over by one holding such power.

The issue is you and I know this, but they don't

Or the opposite.
