We need more inequality. It’s a feature, not a bug. Entire swaths of people are convinced we need to flatten all people into one income bracket. That’s not going to end well. See USSR and Cambodian massacre.

That doesn’t mean we should propel poverty.

Midwits have been brainwashed into thinking “equity = good” with no critical thinking capability. The entire political college class screams “How can you be against equality!” followed by insinuations and fascism insults. The term “human rights” have been hijacked into socialism/communism propaganda.

It’s so deeply fucked.

Yes. There are plenty of philanthropic billionaires. Yes. That much money buys a destabilizing amount of influence.

Billionaires are billionaires not by literally storing cash. The rest of the society values their contributions and creations in the companies/corporations they run. Sure, they have some liquidity but the entire concept of resentment towards billionaires is essentially equal to resentment for the betterment of the world. There are some exceptions but for the most part, in a well oiled market, you can't just become a billionaire by fucking over people.
