      Are you suggesting that plebs should be the beneficiaries of society? Why would capital be for that? How would we function without all the stuff they give us!

        What I’m saying is that the plebs have to suffer through capitalism while tax money is used to give the oligarchs the benefits of socialism.

          Right but they’re the ones who own all the stuff that we use to make the stuff work! Why would anything else make sense?

    The government is just a piggybank for capitalists. Thats why we prefer working outside of the system.

    You don’t understand. When we said “fiscal conservative”, we meant keep the exact same people rich.

      At least thiel is sufficiently insane and diabolical. Bezos is starting to get kind of stylish about it in a more ‘I must kill captain planet and/or those damn meddling kids’ denatured nihilistic sort of way.
