A lot of stuff what billionaires are doing shouldn't be swept under personal privacy.

"Don't bug me, it's my own business how I spend my money", some would say. For random people, that's true. But when you command absurd amounts of wealth, maybe all of that stuff has consequences to the rest of the society.

We demand transparency from people who have power over our lives, and oligarchs shouldn't be an exception to that rule.

A good quote I remember hearing from somewhere is "when you vote with your wallet, the people with more money get more votes."

I am more afraid of the billionaires than the atomic bombs.

Billionaires own the people who control the means of mass destruction: Trump who suffers from dementia and Hegseth who’s an alcoholic and a moron. They both suffer from brain-damaged levels of stupidity and can be easily goaded into a nuclear attack whenever it suits billionaires to have one.

  1. Billionaires and Capitalism.
  2. Abrahamic religions. (no problem with Voodoo or Shinto or Sikhism or Bahai or ...) Prosperity gospel is not ok. Saying that hell is mostly filled with women and that women are less capable of civic life than men is not ok.
  3. War.
  4. Boom (for some) and Bust (some never experience the downside, some never experience the upside) cycles and economic fuckery like prices bieng too high or just volitile, many rented instead of owned across the board domisiles, ads, paid subscriptions, spam, scams, gamblified everything, climate and energy mismanagement, science and all other legitimate human needs bow to the "need" for profit and lately the "need" for aristocratic rule (Trump and Musk and Yarvin aren't the only ones who want to be kings over me), etc.

Bahá'i is also an Abrahamic religion, by the way. It basically splintered from Shia Islam.

Prosperity gospel is not an original feature of Christianity nor of Islam. Rich people who've been dodging taxes would certainly populate hell as imagined in these traditions.
