Even worse at least the local noble was local and would usually invest within their community instead of what we have now where they barely have to see us.

He’s fucking right

Isn't that explicitly the goal of alt-right "thinkers" like Yarvin and his "Dark Enlightenment" (not clever enough for "Endarkenment"?)? Peter Thiel hopes to apply/spread it to all Western civilizations, not just the US.

Yes thats entirely the point. All these ketamine snorting tech bros have hyped each other up into believing they are the new aristocracy who deserve an underclass

Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but trillionaires should be forced to transition into billionaires, and billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

Tax Wealth, or well shift from Trickle Down Economics to Robin Hood Economics, which usually doesn't turn out well for the leadership.

I know Gary likes to play dumb and assume this isn't actually the goal of the rich and powerful all along but they have been executing this class war now for 45 years. Its not like its new and its had universal support from every government since the early 1980s. It is what the ruling class wants, because they get to own everything and live even better. There is a reason you can't get Labour to do anything about it they have been pursuing this intentionally since the 2000s.

Tax Wealth?

I want wealth caps!

Say, 10 million dollars, is simply the maximum amount of money anyone can have / control. Any income after that is 100% taxed

No more extreme riches

Governments get huge influx of resources which they can use for free healthcare, free education, universal basic income

Poverty could disappear. Poverty related crimes could disappear

Companies can no longer have huge share holders and owners, now requiring loads of smaller shareholders.

Limit company worths to max 1 billion too while we're at it.l, because no ultra large company ever did something that was good for humanity

Now we have boat loads of smaller companies, makes your economy more stable

Since you can't pass that wealth limit, incentives to screw over customers are gone because it won't get you more anyway.

I can go on listing the benefits for another hour but you get the idea ..

I literally can't see bad sides to limiting wealth. It's a simple rule to get control of the narcissist psychopaths that are ruining the world

Why haven't we ever done that before?

Abandoning tech for a few generations might be a good thing. It seems all of society is forced to re-engineer itself based on the latest tech/gizmo/widget invention, in order to streamline "business", but everything gets more expensive with diminishing quality over time. Knee-jerk reactions to the shiny and new aren't good for anybody.

Me resisting the urge to explain how modern medieval historians consider feudalism to have never existed:

But yeah he's right. Or well something will give before that, but that's the limit state we're looking at.

Taxing wealth strikes me as like trying to scoop out the ocean. We have to recreate beaver dams and restore the metaphorical flood plains. Spread out and soak in. The water table is going down and the land is subsiding; moving some water isn't enough.

He's right but people in the UK are too racist to gain a collective class consciousness.
