@interfluidity They took advantage of our system to elect themselves. They will not relinquish power because it's the only thing they can use to fill the hole where their heart and soul should be.

@interfluidity FWIW, Mackenzie Scott seems to be trying to get *herself* out of the billionaires' club as quickly as she can find better homes for the money, so she might require less attention than the rest of that crowd.

@rst she is, but she’s doing so by massively, prescriptively influencing social affairs. that i myself might be more sympathetic to her views and influence makes little difference. neither of us ought to be able to have that kind of sway. if she just wants not to be a billionaire, the US Treasury accepts donations in any amount.

@interfluidity You're singing my old favorite song about how government is better than business. Because you have zero control over who runs a corporation.

@interfluidity Libertarians are not really fans of democracy and the state.Both institutions tend to impinge on their ideology given freedom rights.As you can guess, it's an ideology with a heavy emphasis on personal rights, and little personal obligations.

@interfluidity These are the citizens of the new global superpower - Billionairistan. They work together with oligarchs worldwide to outmaneuver and thwart any democracy that tries to restrain them.
