    Says a wealth-hoarding, mass carbon-polluting asshole. His ethics and those of everyday people are vastly vastly different due to his inability to pay taxes.

        You know what? Seeing as how we’re getting it anyway whether we like it or not, I think I’d voluntarily take the surveillance state and censorship if it comes with rich people getting absolutely stomped by the government when they get out of line.

        Maybe we can adopt the Vietnamese model where that billionaire either pays back $9 billion of embezzled funds or gets executed.

        If we can’t have a real democracy with real freedom I at least want blood of vengeance to bathe in from time to time.

    Does he count as a citizen? Will he be surveilled also to keep him in line? Will it force them to be kind to their employees and not cheat them?

    What a coinkidink!

    I just predicted this morning that the way things are going his and his billionaire friend’s heads will be on pikes before the end of the decade

    It will be declared an international monument that will be visited by schools for decades to come to learn about the importance of regular class wars to keep the parasites in check in a society.

    The 0.1% are like turbo hedonists. If they beat the population into being severe ascetics then the ones who stick out will be: elites, politicians, authorities, politicians, suck-ups, spoiled heirs, politicians, etc.

    I think all the little things people “get to do” help contribute to the “temporarily embarrassed millionaire” mentality. Take that away and there’s going to be significantly less tolerance for corruption.

    And the elites will create a system where the only way to vote is to spill blood.

    Truly nothing like Big Brother telling you he’s gonna big brother you. And of course don’t forget that those in power will never be subjected to this, it’s only for the little peasants in case they may decide to not fully conform to their ideal society (wageslaving to make the rich richer until you drop dead)

      He’s literally 80 years old. You can only do so much to hide your age before you start looking absurd.

    He says that the police will be under constant surveillance. They already are and they still get away with crimes. Unless being a criminal is a cops best behaviour.
