Dear "The Atlantic": Don't forget some of us also are just fucking sick of ultrawealthy CEOs. I don't condone or applaud violence. But man, I'm tired of ultrawealthy CEOs in and of themselves. #capitalism #uspol
@trashHeap I do condone and applaud violence in some extremely specific context. I wish the bullet didn't graze Donald Trump and I'm glad this CEO got what I believe he deserved. But you can count on privileged pricks to partly blame the "discourse" (the symptom) rather than the cause (the power concentration and the accountability trickle down).
@AKingsbury @trashHeap question: Do you not understand that there are collective action problems and the existence of the ultrawealthy means that we can have people who can defect at a scale large enough to make saving the planet impossible?
@silverwizard @AKingsbury @trashHeap Or Elon Musk being able to single-handedly take down what was apparently dangerously close to an online commons in the form of Twitter.

Why? I've never understood this kind of hatred, unless it was motivated either by envy or by falling for the fixed pie fallacy.
