Can you imagine the harms & hate mongering of an immortal Charles Koch, #PrinceBonesaw, Putin, Xi, Larry Ellison, Elon Musk, Tim Dunn, or Peter Thiel?
Charles Koch, like Bradley before him & the 60 year war on voting rights, already has plans to rule from the grave for decades to come.

in reply to Nicole Parsons • • •We have allowed our society to be ruled by wealth and power addicts. With people addicted to drugs, alcohol, even conventional gambling, we take measures to curtail this behavior when it starts to harm others. Meanwhile, we reward these wealth addicts with more of the very thing they're addicted to.

I'm skeptical about the validity of diagnosing people based on historical records... Honestly, I think it's a lot simpler than that. It's just junkie shit.
Still, worth a read.
I'm also really amused about all this rich asshole critical writing coming from Rich Asshole Digest.

in reply to The Great Llama • • •@TheGreatLlama @Npars01 I did not notice the article saying "being a psychopath is a bad thing."
You may want to read:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Psyc…
(I like all things Jon Ronson).
In it, Ronson discusses psychopathy with the investor "Chainsaw Al." For "Chainsaw Al" psychopathy personality traits are 100% positive.
I think for CEOs, a psychopathy diagnosis would be a badge of honor. "Empathetic is pathetic with a prefix."

in reply to RRB • • •The fact that they mean "Greta Thunberg is the Antichrist," not as hyperbole, but LITERALLY will never stop making me laugh. The joke is on all of us and may well be lethal, but I CANNOT take these people seriously.
RRB
in reply to The Great Llama • • •@TheGreatLlama @Npars01 Assuming that Peter Thiel is sincere (a big ask), and assuming that he researched the Biblical anti-Christ warnings. If he is not a total idiot, he should find someone on his side that is a better example of the Anti-Christ than poor little Greta.
I enjoy having the "Greta Thunberg is the anti-Christ" discussion with people not following the oligarchs. The faces that they make when you say that is worth a fortune.

Greta Thunberg is a target for harassment by Peter Thiel because she scares the heck out of the fossil fuel funded fascists who launched Peter Thiel's grift.
