I genuinely thought this was ironic. Was it not? I cannot understand why anyone would do this.

It took millennia of human torment to come to the conclusion that political power should be distributed, because it is a human right. Wealth similarly compels actions, so billionaire-level wealth is inherently unjust.

We've completely circled back to feudalism, just wrapped in a cardboard box with ad that says 'freedom'. And then you've got doofuses protesting in favor?

I don't care if there are rich people, but one person controlling the same amount of wealth as hundreds of millions of people is just wrong.

Edit: millions of people not billions

Yeah, it reads like an Onion headline.

Apparently an organizer nicknamed "Aella" is wealthy. A lot of very wealthy people (another, nicknamed "Destiny", popular streamer) become ardent "liberals", or mid-level managers of inequality.

Destiny is happy to increase taxes on the wealthy, and applauds the election of Mamdani despite having doubts about some of his proposed policies. He is opposed to leftist populist policies that are economically distorting and damaging (rent control) or generally unpopular and unreasonable (defund the police).

Why is thing being downvoted? That’s why your text is greyed right?

[mekdoonggi]

Yeah that's why comments go grey. People just disagree, which is their right.
