Devoid of all meaning except for being unmistakably racist. And not the mild, everyday kind either.

What does he even mean by this?

He’s a pseudo intellectual that gets high on his own farts, like Nick Land.
What I’m understanding here is he’s trying to take advantage of anti billionaire sentiment - that it’s obvious even to alt right weirdos that wealth inequality is fucking everyone but the rich over. He’s a monarchist, he doesn’t have a problem with billionaires, but he wants to play populist. He’s using racist forum troll slang to signal to others that they don’t have to hide, and is hinting at some wealth redistribution through confiscation from Black people (think about how much was looted from folks during things like the Tulsa Race Riot in the 20’s - that and similar riots were often ways to forcibly redistribute wealth to poor whites…)

What he “means” to the extent this isn’t just a shock value post meant to allow him to get a lot of responses before moving the goalposts & also to get a lot of nazis to like him more, is that:
The epithet he used is a racist one used to describe how people who come from a poor background act once they get some money - often on flashy displays of wealth, but not often on investments/ensuring their wealth grows and lasts into the future.
he is saying American billionaires fit that epithet because of how they spend their money. He calls them N*s because of how they spend money, not because they are black - he is not under the illusion that most billionaires are black.
he’s saying they spend their money in foolish ways. He would prefer they spend their money abolishing the neoliberal state and replacing it with a neo-feudal monarchical system that makes all these billionaires literal feudal lords with fiefdoms. For him, this is the end-goal of wealth and the ideal societal state.
