Just Say No! To Billionaires

 

The gap between the top 1% wealthiest people in the world and the other 99% is about the greatest it has been since the time of the Egyptian pharaohs. It is so great that the top 1% has started to see itself as being separate from the rest of the human race. Not bound by the same laws. Viewing humaity as a disposable commodity, or at worst given the most recent drop of Epstein files, like livestock that can be farmed.

These people do not have your best interests at heart, and they aren’t going anywhere. They are young, they will be around for another 30-40 years minimum, getting richer and becoming more power hungry and detached.

What right do these people have to such extortionate wealth? None. They are just the inheritors of good luck and being in the right place at the right time. They aren’t the only people who have ever had good ideas, but with access to the entire globe their reach has grown exponentially in an incredibly short period. Once you get on the wealth wave it just keeps on growing. Money breeds money. There is no upper limit for these people.

It wouldn’t be so bad if they just stuck to being the new Scrooge McDuck, but now they want to get involved in politics – on the fascist side. Democracy? Annoying. Borders? Meaningless when you own properties all over the globe (look at Trump’s ridiculous ‘Board of Peace’). Morals? The only morals they have are the ones that appear when they get caught doing something dodgy. Any other time they can do what the fuck they want. They have moved on from being the fabled Illuminati of the 20^th Century to the Epstein Class of today.

So what can be done? Short of a French revolution style solution, the only thing in your power is the power of boycott. Look what happened to Tesla when Musk ripped off his mask. It lost hundreds of billions of dollars in value virtually overnight. Don’t buy products associated with them. Avoid their media platforms. They only understand money and power, so hit them in their wallets. There are alternatives like Bluesky instead of Twitter (or X or whatever) and plenty of online shopping platforms other than Amazon.

Just say no, I don’t want any of your shit.

Oh yeah – and don’t support any politician that is supported by them. Politicians are just legislative janitors– there to do their dirty work ad protect them from accountability.

All of this requires vigilance and actually doing some homework, but the days of putting blind faith into the powers that be are over. Ignorance will just turn you into a peasant, which is ultimately what they want.
