Yes there were … we just didn’t call them billionaires … we called them Kings, Queens, Supreme Rulers, Emperors, God Kings
The world looks exactly the same now as it did 2,000 years ago politically because the idea of supreme and infinite wealth never went away. We’ve always had men who believed they could rule or own the entire world … and we still do.
I always say and think about all this from the perspective of billionaires … all they ever care about is money and the free flow of money everywhere. As long as money is moving and people believe in it, praise it and worship it, everything else can be tolerated and controlled.
The internet and free flowing communication allows for money to flow a lot … without it money would quickly become segmented into tight regions and countries and everything becomes closed … which makes it harder for money to flow, which makes it harder for a billionaire to make more money.
Same with World War or even nuclear war … I don’t think it will ever happen on purpose because once that first bomb goes off, billionaires will cease to be billionaires as the world financial system collapses. The billionaires won’t care how many millions die, they’ll be more upset that their imaginary digitally managed wealth will either decrease a lot or even completely. They know that in a post apocalyptic world, no one will care if you claim to be a billionaire if banks no longer exist. You might say that billionaires will have gold stashes around to fund their own personal army … but that won’t work either because their army will just kill them to take the wealth.
All of it is possible because of human greed … all of it is under threat because of human greed … and all of it is held in balance because of human greed.
What is this high school?
American government sounds more and more like the varsity sports team of America High

*Political violence is quintessentially American Conservatism
A lot of that historical violence has been directed at minorities, social groups, marginalized groups, Indigenous people, LGBTQ+, union workers, blacks, Hispanics, women
If you want to narrow it all down … most of the American political violence, the majority of it over the past 200 years was driven by white Christian males who believe they are a ruling class and need to be on top overpowering everyone else for their own personal benefit … usually with the lame excuse that it is God’s will. And I honestly also don’t believe it has anything to do with God or Christianity or even religion … it’s just a small entitled group of people who just want all the power, all the money and all the control … you know the same jungle mentality of that one male monkey who wants all the bananas and all the females and be able to pound their chest and make everyone scared.
I’m Indigenous Canadian and this does not mean I want to jump over the political cliff and call for the end of all white Christian males … I’m just pointing out the history … and what I believe is that we can all coexist together without any one group dominating over another and everyone just living together equally - socially and economically.
It could be a child or someone with dwarfism holding an oversized banana … we need more info
The rest of us standing there just looking at them
that is either an enormous banana or the smallest cat I’ve ever seen
It makes you realize why we want to destroy the world so easily when we only ever see the world as being convenient for us only and not for all life no matter what shape or form it comes in.
Little Fly,
Thy summer’s play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away.
Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?
For I dance
And drink, and sing,
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.
If thought is life
And strength and breath
And the want
Of thought is death;
Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die.
I remember reading a long time ago that most insects are a very protein dense food source … beef when looking at the whole cow is about 50%-60% protein overall … while an insect is about 90% protein.
You need to threaten people with guns and machine guns
The crazy part is at this point in American history, you’d have a high chance of getting away with it all.
This is the equivalent of that obnoxious kid in the neighbourhood saying they’re taking their basketball home and no one can play basketball any more … then after he leaves, someone else brings another basketball anyway.
… or a Norwegian
Welcome to the world of being an Indigenous Canadian teen in a non-Indigenous city in the 1990s … where you either get wrongly arrested, or you develop a sixth sense for the police
Nothing more American than to see Republicans freak out at the tiniest possibility that someone wants to actually help average Americans … and instead of ignoring them, they label him a radical socialist that is dangerous… dangerous to who? The rich!
None … it’s always OK to punch a Nazi … and its also OK to punch a Nazi sympathizer
