Not in a great man theory sort of way, but who would you say is the worst living human today? Sometimes I get too bogged down with thinking about our issues as systematic and forget that all policy has someone signing off on it and that got me thinking and I've arrived at Bill Gates. With his work in Africa, how he ruined computers for the world, and the Epstein ties I'd say he's gotta at least be up there.

      I think the old American fortunes still have an outsized effect we see on the world today, and while much of that fortune has been diluted, class interests still inform why the Rockefellers played a significant role in something like the Trilateral Commission. And without going full reptilian conspiracy brain, those old families are still influential to this day

      And of course that doesn't account for all the new money technocratic overlords
