    Many of these billionaires are hoping or trying to dismantle democracy and create some sort of techno feudalism where corporations rule. What’s disturbing is that many of these men have read sci fi where such techno feudalism is the norm and they seemed to have missed that such societies were never portrayed as being ideal or even good, they are always dystopic.

      They are dystopic for everybody but the cunty billionaire at the top, who has an amazing time as emperor, its that role they chase after. They completely lack any empathy for anybody else, they really do not give a fuck how many people get crushed in the process of them being all powerful. Sad thing is, they wouldn’t even enjoy it if the achieved it, they can’t even enjoy what they have now, all unhappy characters straight out of a Ronald Dahl novel.
