    Billionaire oligarchs are incompatible with democracy, he’s just got it backwards like most anti-humanity fascists tend to do

    Not even trying to understand. He’s just another bored billionaire trying to stir the pot.

    Democracy only works when the people is at the wheel, not the oligarchs.

    and people will still say more aggressive action against these people is unnecessary and that protests are working, they are clearly not given that trump is now trying to eject the georgia senators and their general attacks on election infrastructure.

      I mean no offense, but do you choose that?

      What action are you taking towards that end? Because as far as I can tell only a small percentage of the population has rebelled in force, and while they’re celebrated online, the vast majority of people have taken no meaningful action.

        Barney plays the long game actually. He befriends the wealthy and becomes their trusted advisor. He slowly poisons them against everyone until they are all alone and then eventually take their own life.

        Billy, you are such a joke…you know nothing of the suffering Barney can cause. Your unimaginative Luigi solutions just show you don’t have the guts to do what it takes to destroy someone.

    I no longer believe that MY freedom and YOUR democracy are compatible. So you can’t have democracy anymore so I can have my freedom to not be regulated.

    He doesn’t mean freedom for the proles. He means his personal total and absolute freedom to exploit other people relentlessly and without consequences.

    Well isn’t it obvious? Freedom is only compatible with wealthy elites pressing their boots (or the boots of their paid hirelings) against the necks of the people.

      Don’t eat this guy. He has used blood boys to try to keep himself young.

      That’s probably the kind of unregulated shit the gets you exposed to unknown pathogens and such. You don’t want to eat that kind of meat.
