      Most of my family are pro billionaire. They genuinely believe billionaires are that rich because they earned it, and that American capitalism will fall if we tax the billionaires. They say billionaires would flee the country. Where would they go? Idfk

        Get on the site ‘nextdoor’ and you’ll think all your neighbors are billionaires

          Nextdoor is such a cesspool. The crazy paranoids that have now been tooled by cynical players connect on there and reeinforce their delusions.

          In the old days, they would crank out some hair brained conspiracy and be mocked and learn to keep it to themselves. With the internet they find each other and provide emotional support and reinforcement.

          That guy they don’t recognize on the street? Antifa death squad coming to rub them out for their dumbass facebook posts clearly.

        I got a reddit violation, from administration, for suggesting Musk ride one of his rockets into space. It was just presumed said rocket would explode in flight I guess.

          I referenced the genre of rich man/men hunting poor man, especially a POC for sport, in a reddit post. They said I was inciting violence until I pointed it out to them. Reddit is a cesspit of right wing.
