    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.

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

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

          Down voting simply because you disagree is a thoughtless "fuck you" to everyone trying to have a conversation.

          This forum encourages "thoughtful conversation" so if you disagree you should discuss why you disagree. Down voting is there to empower the community to squelch posts that are thoughtless clutter, off topic, offensive, or anything else that is disruptive to conversation.

      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.

    Wonder if it was more or less than the crowd that showed up for last week’s NeverNude protest. I remember them numbering in the dozens too.
