    See, call me crazy, but like, I thought there were laws and caps to how much a person could donate to a candidate? And yes I know its some silly loophole, PAC, citizens united corporate bullshit whatever… but like, it “feels” like we all understand the spirit of the law right? And so we all can plainly see that this doesnt respect it? So maybe we dont need to get hung up on technicalities when the violation is blatantly obvious, yea?

    Financial obesity is neurotoxic, 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.

    But they are the end goal of capitalism. Therefore Capitalism isn’t compatible with democracy.

    They give each other medals, jerk each other off and even fuck the same sex trafficked children. Talk about an in-group.
