so…a dollar?

but I don’t see reasons to be confident about that.

you have to adopt the mindset that makes the most sense to you, of course

i don’t get what your argument is. that we don’t objectively know who the people above elon musk are, so therefore they must not exist?

what DOES that say about the state of things? you tell me

desire or ability to control people’s lives

no. the desire is there. and in some cases the ability too.

but they are still muppets, controlled by people more powerful than they are. the fact that elon musk, the “richest man in the world” doesn’t get everything he wants should tell you something.

you need to change your mindset away from thinking people like elon musk are the top of the food chain. he’s fucking not.

money and power are intimately connected, but they are not the same thing

While raising their children, Bill Sr. and Mary instilled in them a strong work ethic, the importance of community and the significance of helping others.

that could all be a lie of course, who knows…

yes, bill gates’s parents were loaded. i’m talking about families that have been too wealthy to measure for many many generations, since banking was invented

i mean, fuck musk and bezos and all the rest too. call me a conspiracy theorist, but i’m skeptical of the notion that these people are actually the “richest” of all rich people

you make a good point, but i think of “rich people” as the families who have been unimaginably wealthy for hundreds of years. not musk, not bezos, bill gates, etc. the “old money” doesn’t care if you know they’re rich–in fact they would prefer you didn’t. they just want to control the trajectory of your life in order to keep you in your place, and prevent you from encroaching on their position of power.

think warburgs and rothschilds, not the idiotic rich people flaunting their wealth on twitter

the peasant class exists to generate more money for the owner class, not the other way around.

always has been

true, grandma would be absolutely horrified to hear anyone ate just one meal yesterday, on purpose, and plans to do it every day this week. it’s almost blasphemy

but also the corporations selling everyone quick easy cheap (and disgustingly unhealthy) food-like substances at the drive thru and breakfast aisle certainly don’t want anyone skipping any meals either. in fact they want you to be eating all day every day

the difference is grandma doesn’t want anyone to feel like they felt in the depression, not knowing when they’ll eat again, and corporations just want your money

most people in the states actually think they’re going to die immediately if they skip a meal, let alone two.

the “never don’t eat, for any reason, ever–or you will DIE” mindset is one of the things we’re most force-fed from birth onwards.

it’s becase if you skip a meal, that’s money that wasn’t spent. if everyone skipped a meal, that’s a lot of money that wasn’t spent. we can’t have that in capitalism. therefore, eat abundantly and often. it doesn’t matter what, as long as it’s something you bought
