    how do we stop western billionaires from cultivating cults of personality?

      Well, for one they don't allow them to do wealth-posting. As well, they don't allow them to self advertise, outside of published interviews (and maybe like a book deal). They get to be a billionaire but their free speech privileges are curtailed. Basically, it's 'Congratulations, you have managed to make yourself an important part of the economy, now you will be treated as such with more scrutiny'. It goes without saying that there are certainly abuses, though its hard to say if there are more or less that the West.

      However, in the West the problem is that there are a substantial amount of people who are bazinga brained enough to do this on their own, which there is not much you can do outside of re-education on economic theory and history.

      If you are asking how 'we' as in Hexbearians stop this from happening? The horses are outta the barn on that one. Watch, wait, read and counter when people push on the propoganda hard irl.

        So the call is coming from inside the house. Frankly, I'm terrified of what it will take to make Americans stop worshipping rich people with above average PR campaigns.

          I don't think it will take that much. Most of the people I know who are like this are PMC liberals (think IT and engineering nerds) who are reddit-brained and while they are substantial in the posting wars, their actual physical presence is limited. Most people I know that actually work for and deal with billionaires (being one of them at one point) do not have such rose-colored lenses on the subject. The problem is that D.C. and most state capitals and economics centers are full of these types of PMC liberals.

          The issue is getting these people to actually engage with historical critiques, which can only occur if they want it to occur.
