Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
And if people were to try to topple the oligarchy, Dems would toss them under the bus.

It's been a problem ever since the Industrial Revolution, which oligarchs supplanted the aristocracy while class conflict remained. There were attempts at changing the status quo, or overthrowing it and replacing with a different system, there's so much discussion and debate, but actual success of the masses -- if we must have inclusion of those oppressed regardless of race, creed or faith -- has yet to be seen.
One thing is for certain: this time peaceful and legal options are starting to be exhausted of their energy, as the moneyed enemy isn't going to yield easily.
Yes, now realize every establishment Democrat is also paid off by these demons too. Grassroots progressives or RIP the system, I have no other choice.
Curious why he said Twitch vs Amazon
Because he's stating the companies they own that control the narrative. Push the views they want and downplay ones that are critical. Twitch is more relevant than Amazon for that.
Thank you that makes sense. I figured he led with The Washington Post for that exact reason but didn't really see Twitch in the same light at first.
The US has been an Oligarchy for quite a while now.
Amongst other things that's why Bernie's campaign to be the Democrat candidate was torpedoed directly by the DNC so that Hillary "I got a cool half a million to give a speech to Goldman Sach's traders" Clinton got the nomination and then proceeded to lose to none other than old-money multi-millionaire Donald Trump.
I mean, it's pretty obvious even before Reagan that the Hierarchy Of Power in the US has in many things had Money as a higher power than Democratically Elected Administration - or in other words, the inverse of the order that it should be in Democracy - and that has expanded to pretty much all things since.
The US (and several other so-called "Democratic" nations) hasn't had Democracy for many years.
forbes just released their 40th billionaires list:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/pr/2026/03/10/forbes-40th-annual-worlds-billionaires-list-elon-musk-is-worlds-richest-person-ever-recorded/
but… their own link is 404. 🤔
interesting. suspicious coincidences one might say.
and while archive.org has multiple copies of every day, just since march 10th when the new one got released… their are no copies
Thanks, the link works now.
$839 billion (Bernie's post misstates at 829). The most normal and human response to reading this list is to feel physically ill.
There's a word for this: It's called Gleichschaltung
When the hell did Musk get to 800?
This is nuts! I blinked and it happened
If one ship cost is one bilion dollars(Elon once bought a yacht for one bilion dollars) he could fund all ships for Achaemenid Empire for Battle of Salamis.
More an example of plutocracy, but definitely an example of both.
Unless he's specifically talking about corporate holdings, then it's oligopoly, not oligarchy.
Why does every post ive seen like this leave out amazon?
Not defending it, but probably because Amazon isn't media or social media. Well, Prime video is media, but it's not a behemoth like Washington Post or CNN, so it's not really relevant in the same way. I think the intent is to point out that almost every information outlet the average person learns about the world from is owned by a group of people small enough to get a table at a restaurant without having to call ahead. Fallout and The Boys being bundled in with your online shopping aren't really influencing people in the same way.
Amazon serves up a vast amount of the Internet, has live video feeds of almost every neighborhood, is a big player in the AI space, is a retail giant, a movie studio, a streaming platform, and a logistics juggernaut.
It isn't strictly media/influence, but also so much more. Scary stuff.
I thought it was Larry Ellison’s son that is about to own this?
No mention of Oracle?
