They don’t want to solve society’s problems. They want to solve their own, which are 1) they’re not deified enough for their liking, and 2) they’re not rich enough.

Of course, neither problem will ever be solved for these people, because they can’t be. “Enough” in this context simply doesn’t exist.

With the sort of money these guys have their taxes could help solve homeless and many other problems in society. But they don’t want to pay tax. It’s interesting tho that they live in fear of their billions “disappearing” overnight when for many it’s the fear of being disappeared that is the worry

They will obviiously never have their epiphany moment of realising the crime & the homelessness they are fleeing from is a direct product of extreme wealth inequality. In the same way they will never recognise this is the primary cause of international migration.

Pretty fucking dumb for "geniuses"

A key SF text for this is Oath of Fealty by Niven and Pournelle. They are/were the type of SF writers loved by techbros. (Right wing, tech-evangelist, libertarian).
I commend it, not for any literary merit, but as an excellent text to ‘know the enemy’.

Agree with Guillaume Long, Ecuador’s former minister of foreign affairs:

"If you’re a weak state and you’re giving over large portions of land to a private state, there’s a really dystopian, really futuristic and really feudal aspect to this.”

Donald Trump is as racist as a person can be!

It’s all about making the United States as white as possible.

Trump is now refusing to allow black and brown people to become citizens after they’ve completed the entire naturalization process!
