from Plato to Hegel to modern Christian fascism, those who defend tyranny and totalitarianism are always wrong.

Fascinating chart with one outlier: Warren Buffett.
At the low end, giving 0.06% of one's wealth is equivalent to:
Net worth -> Lifetime Giving
50K->$30
100K->$60
500K->$300
$1M->$600
Most folks give far more by % in a *single year*.

It's kind of like socialism, except it all goes to billionaires.
How much Americans have shelled out to Elon Musk through government contracts: $38 billion.
How much Elon Musk made last year: $200+ billion
How much Tesla paid in federal taxes last year: $0.
Oligarchy is real. The system is rigged.

A year later Weev would play a key role in professionalizing the trolls who played a key role in getting Trump elected.
A strange find from the Epstein files:
A hacker named Vincenzo Iozzo shares with Epstein a rumor that Peter Thiel was "bankrolling" the neo-Nazi white supremacist hacker troll known as "weev."
Conversation is about financial strategies and "currencies."
