billionaires should be desperate to be taxed. something is going to happen to them, and 'taxed' is the best verb they can hope for at this point

I think we are very close to being past the point of society accepting these people in any form. Too much damage has already been done while the ultrawealthy laughed it away.

    I wish i felt that way. Maybe in 20 years, but right now these people are still on a high pedestal in the eyes of the majority. They’ve mastered the art of giving “just enough” to keep the masses at bay. It will take a catastrophe of epic proportions with billions dead or suffering and these rich mf’ers sitting high in their ivory towers before the masses will open their eyes. Even then we’ll be told to “pray” and they will give us a few more scraps to naw on (all while they “prey” on us to further widen the gap between us and them).

    Idk, I live in the US and I have a hard time believing the status quo can even continue 2 years not to mention 20.

    Will it just get worse? Probably, but I don't think there is any holding the masses back that will kick the can that far down the road. The point of critical evolution towards collapse is right now.

    I’m in the US as well. Specifically the south. These inbreds still to this day love cheeto jesus and would eat his ass on command. So many people here would rather hate than eat. It’s so sad. I have family obligations (elderly parents) but I can’t wait to get out of here.

    This is something that, of all people, Ivanka Trump has kvetched about in private — her infamy, her dad's infamy, her company's infamy, her wealth's infamy, and not to mention, her husband's infamy — has essentially procluded them from any social circles in NYC. They reportedly left politics because every single one of their friends would refuse to engage with them anymore.

    One simple thing that brings me joy in a dark world is that Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump can't make a single friend.
