thiel not being one of them, how strange, im guessing because he doesnt control a social media platform, he might known this as he wouldve gotten more flak if he had owned one.

This is definitely worse than the golden age… Their supporters (conservatives) need to realize it, though.

And none of them contribute a fucking thing to society.

And not only do they not use any of their money to improve the world, they actually actively use it to buy up every media platform, prop up right wingers and make as many people suffer as possible. More than they already suffer that is, thanks to a system that allows these pieces of shit to amass enough wealth to last multiple lifetimes while others have to work two jobs and still not earn enough to live without hardship.

Zuckerberg, looks like he has alopecia universalis, like Stan Sitwell from Arrested Development.

Imagine life was a game. You lived for 2025 years. You worked 260 days / year. You made the median US salary.
You would need to relive that process 3,145 times to match an Oligarch.
That amount of wealth is unethical while humanity suffers. No one can really fathom “1b dollars.”

It’s always jarring to me just how ugly the “superwealthy” are. It’s like their blatant greed and disregard for others can’t be hidden however hard they might try.

While the rest of us got a trillion dollars poorer.

All of this extraction will have dire consequences.

Just remember, there’s no such thing as infinite growth. These people are just getting better at extracting wealth from us.

We’re being eaten alive.

Worry not, we won’t be alive for long.

The entire biosphere is being eaten alive

Capitalism is a parasite.
Humanity when we view nature as equal to us is beneficial to nature.
But we kinda lost the plot once we thought god gave us the earth to pillage

What a monster of a face she has. Sheesh. Faces reflect the person underneath.
