      Nah, I think it’s more like…

      If you were a cop, you’d pretty much just beat peoples’ asses whenever you wanted , right (of course, they gotta be “the right kinda people” to keep it all acceptable)? And there’s like a 50/50 chance you’d absolutely do it if you were a cop, cause you’re the physical fist that backs up the state; you’re a violent scumbag and that’s just what you do.

      If you’re a weird billionaire you exploit everything you can; loopholes, institutions, resources, and, of course, people.

      So billionaires are exploitation incarnate (like police are state violence incarnate), it’s just *what they do. You exploit people for labor or whatever other sick shit you want, because you’re part of the web of relations that exists above the market and influences it, and essentially nobody is gonna stop you. You’re why all of these institutions of state violence exit, to protect your “right” to exploit people

      plus that exploitation of humans is already inherent to amassing capital, so going the whole hog to have a B near the dollar sign is a reconcilable step
