The point of taxing the billionaires should be to end them as a class, not treat them as a source of recurring revenue.
the "tax the billionaires" political refrain is Good Actually in part because it is a call for the people at the top to actually be constrained by rules informed by the public interest, a virtue that fingerwagging correctives about how much revenue such taxes would *really* generate doesn't address

The internet has "leveled the playing field" in an unhealthy way. Most people with years of training, decades of experience, and a proven track record of making the world a better place are at a disadvantage to the glib, charismatic motherfuckers who can spew bullshit for hours on end.
"debate" gamifies politic conversation and replaces the actual stakes of the subject being debated with interpersonal stakes of clout and such. the demand for the version of civility that features in these conversations amounts to trying to water down even the interpersonal stakes
