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 don't get your point. They are all one class, and they all have each other's backs.

    You think Gates and Musk don't have a stake in the deregulation of natural resources? In American resource hegemony? Do you think they're not drooling over the thought of a cold war against China to get unfettered access to the Inner Mongolia mines? Are you already forgetting how Tesla's stock price jumped after the Bolivia coup?

    Do you not realize that Bezos became obscenely wealthy by monopolizing the marketing operations of thousands of different firms that collectively "own and control vast swathes of land and infrastructure that exploit natural resources"

    Are you not seeing how Gates' software empire works hand in hand with a hardware industry that requires massive amounts of petroleum products and rare earth minerals to sustain itself?
