    There are plenty of ethical things you can do with $1 billion. It’s the acquisition that’s questionable.

  Green party leader in the UK wants to tax all personal assets worth over £10m and £1b annually. He’s got some good policies but will never win because my country is full of racists who will vote for Reform

    Wealth tax is very popular across voters. Now is the time to push for it.

    1. Zack doesn’t have to be elected to push the Overton window on this. Look at what Garage accomplished over the last years, and he got his first MP, when, a year ago or so?

    2. we need to be compassionate with each other. Remember that reform voters get propaganda served all day every day, and so it’s natural for them to accept it at some point. Don’t hate the people for it when they can barely feed their kids.

    3. the right has a very compelling story: your living conditions are bad because of the foreigners. They keep telling that story again and again, and on a superficial level it seems to make sense. We need an alternative, positive story that is forward looking. How do we want our future to look like?
