Once you realise that they all think we have less than 10 years to the total collapse of civilisation, everything they do makes sense.

It’s been proven over and over again that if you give people at the bottom more money, they buy more things, which makes the economy stronger, which increases industry, which makes more money for the top 1%.

Yet, instead of upping pay for their workers, billionaires fight as hard as possible to do the opposite.

Freefall put it quite succinctly. It’s not about how much they have, it’s about how much other people don’t have. If they had a choice between having a giant pile of gold but everyone else has smaller piles, or having a giant pile of shit and everyone else having nothing, they would choose the pile of shit.

These people have been dreaming for years of a ‘new world order’, with them, the glorious techbros, leading their own kingdoms free of all that pesky ‘government influence’. Their plan is to wreck the world and build their little bunkers, and then all of us plebeians will be begging at their door to be let in, because the world outside will be unlivable.

They write manifestos about all this. It’s their wet dream.
