                I absolutely can blame them, those billionaires have gone well out of their way to buy up every single major media platform and my goddamned government so they can dismantle what’s left of the the US education system and spread their propaganda unopposed. Anyone who doesn’t blame them for that is either an incurable fucking moron or morally compromised.

                  I would rather blame those who reject the evidence of their eyes and ears and choose to believe news over what they see in front of them.

                    So…the billionaires?

                    They reject reality and they surround themselves with yes men and delude themselves into believing they’re better and smarter than everyone else when they simply were lucky. Lucky to have parents to invest in them, lucky to have generational wealth, lucky to in the right time and right place to profit off of certain ideas before others did.

                    Instead, they impose their will upon us because they reject reality, like taxing the fuck out of them and redistributing to the workforce, lifting people up out of hunger, our of poverty, and educating them provides a stronger, more robust workforce and a better society.

                    They reject that not everything needs a profit motive and are subsumed by that one principle, making more profit at all costs. As such, they lambast public services, which are a SERVICE, they do not seek to make profit, they provide. Parasites like Bezos only exist because the government subsidizes them. Private companies like UPS and FedEx don’t guarantee to deliver to rural and more distant/out of the way locations because it’s not proditable. USPS does. Sam Walton subsidizes his workforce by hiring those who qualify for benefits, to which his company recieves tax breaks from the government shifting tax burden down to you, and then pays them poverty wages so they still rely on benefits like snap while not being able to find another job because walmart, in their small towm, drove out all the competition.

                    So yes. Drive these deluded fucks out. At least then it would open more opportunity for other smaller, more passionate businesses, creators, and people to fill the space they leave behind. And stop closing your eyes to the system that they parasitize. Excise the tumor that’s draining all the resources from the host or the host will eventually die.
