Billionaires the enemy of humanity
NOT a collapse. A Controlled Demolition.
Billionaires - create a problem, then make money fixing it. Now they're trying to become the government they've "broken".
Billionaires are sinister, creepy and diabolical. But they're not evil geniuses. Just evil.
OVERTURN CITIZENS UNITED NOW.
So what I'm hearing is: we're being overtaken and held hostage by a group of a-holes who think their money is more important than human rights.
"The Nerd Reich" is such a brilliant way to describe all of this.
Organized crime doing crimes against humanity.
Ayn Rand applied for and received Social Security and Medicare. What these people care about is themselves.
Billionaires are a threat to humanity
They’re getting cocky. They think we’ll either refuse to believe or refuse to act out of defeatism. Don’t let them be right!
Imagine you have billions of dollars and still want to indenture and enslave people. Sick as eff.
Idiocracy was supposed to be a joke not a business model.
We must view ultra wealth as a danger to humanity. They view themselves as separate from society which is bad for mankind.
The billionaires pay the millionaires to convince the people making 50k a year that the issue is the people making 20k a year and immigrants.
It is absolutely shocking how far this has gone in 1.5 years.
Billionaires are the minority who are actually damaging society.
It says a lot about America's Downfall that instead of thinking for themselves, people would rather be ruled by insane Tech Oligarchs.
Look at Albania, right now, hundreds of thousands on the streets day after day protesting against Kushner's BS attempt to take part of their country and make it into his private, personal backyard. It's a huge movement. Albanians are showing how to stop these psychos. The many ordinary people against the few wealthy elite.
