Already the most disliked man in America, Zuckerberg will show with his next era whether he believes in anything as much as he does power. Was his interest in jiu-jitsu mixed martial arts authentic or a way to ingratiate himself with the manosphere’s podcast hosts? We may know by the time he faces his first inquest. Perhaps he’ll return to the liberal roots of his former public image like founding a pro-immigration nonprofit, as he did a decade ago.

    I'm not down for murdering folks without due process. That being said, if one dispassionately measures the good done vs the harm caused, throwing every billionaire into the sea — even the "good ones" — the math suggests more good would be done then harm. Sometimes it's difficult to reconcile the morality of not murdering them.

    We need a shitload of Luigis to take the moral hit, leaving the rest of us to be innocently outraged. I, for one, would be the first to write a sternly worded online comment.

    I encourage you to read up on The Terror.

    All of those tens of thousands of guillotine victims weren't wealthy. Not even close. They were you and me. Only a tiny few were wealthy.

    Recommend "Paris in the Terror" by Loomis.
