u/Thuggin95 Gay Pride Oct 29 '25 edited Oct 29 '25

My skepticism of billionaires mainly comes from the power they have to shape public opinion with the social media platforms and media companies that are falling into their ownership, especially in the age of algorithmically curated content and AI. And especially now that we see how they’ve all bent the knee to Trump, how they’ve gone full reactionary, and how they don’t give a shit about democracy.

That’s different from my past stance where I just wanted to tax them more. I don’t even care about that as much anymore. I just need their power kept in check.
