I know we all hate people like Bezos and Gates, but the real leeches on society are the people who directly own capital responsible for natural resource exploitation.

While tech billionaires are bad, the capital that they own is all tied to R&D or software, the resource barons on the other hand, own and control vast swathes of land and infrastructure that exploit natural resources.

Oil barons, real estate tycoons, Coal barons are the greatest evils.

Know your enemy comrades.

    I agree, tho, we would do ourselves a service to focus less on the popular billionaires and pay more attention to the machinations of oil corps, and exploitative american mining companies plundering other countries’ resources and the like

    This is what I wanted to say, I'm just kinda drunk rn, and it came out wrong. Now that I read it, it sounds like I'm a lowkey bezos apologist. None of that lol I'm just upset we don't talk about the other kind if billionaires

      Ahahah no worries, I get you. Drunk posting is praxis, comrade. And so is reminding leftists that maybe we shouldn't only focus on the billionaires that the billionaire-owned media wants us to o7
