No one deserves to be a billionaire. Most artists are not wealthy in their lifetime. In fact, most art is never even sold. It is so strange that we are so addicted to money that saying an artist deserves billions makes sense to people.

Even if you could, you shouldn’t want to.

This is the problem that needs to be fixed. As long as we embrace greed we will be ruled by it.

Oh yeah, showing your true colors. You probably would take a stray dog home but ignore a homeless man.

Even dogs know they are not better.

So you areTeam Golden Retriever!? I guess we know who to send when you need medical treatment. I hope tail wags can cure what ails you!

Going to have to call bullshit.

Times I have stepped in human shit: 0

Times I have stepped in dog shit: 100+

Times I have had a good conservation with dog: 0

Times I have had a good conversation with people: countless

Times my life has been saved by a doctor: 4

Times my life has been saved by a dog: 0

Conclusion: Dogs are not better than people. Next time your house catches on fire try calling a golden retriever instead of the fire department and let me know how that works out.

Thanks, I didn’t catch that.

Correction: We pay waaaay more for waaaay less.

He would have been the first billionaire adjusted for a inflation if he had not died so young. He was a murderous land hoarder who used slavery and death to turn a profit. The rot was always there.

The government is an abusive partner you can’t escape from and if you do they will try and kill you. It is even worse than being trafficked because there is no escape.

Why anyone would accept being hostage to this type of lunacy is beyond me yet it appears the entire county does. We deserve better than constant psychological torture and death.

In the US we can only regulate who goes to what bathroom, all other regulations just don’t work.

You peeked my interest and I did a little research. Needless to say your take is garbage apologist nonsense.

China is on record in the 50’s stating that Tibet was a vassal state. Your denial of imperialism is outright pathetic.

I totally get you are in denial about fascism around the world. Imperalism is not unique to the US nor is supporting genocide. We can see Germany and the UK both supporting Israel full heartedly. Many European countries are extremely corrupt as well, like France that supplies weapons to kill civilians all over the world. Furthermore, issues like anti-muslim sentiment abounds.

The US is horrible for sure, but Europe does everything the US does. Just like your belief that inequality predates modern markets so does European imperialism predate the US.

You are also horribly in denial of the reality of capitalism. It is out of control in Europe. While it may be slightly better at initially spreading the wealth around once corporations take over exploitation and wealth concentration abound.

Yes, there are countless way to measure these metrics, thank you for taking the time to explain this. Also, in this particular area of Europe are some of the best wealth distributed areas on Earth.

This does not make it okay though, as you point out yourself. As fascism grows in power this wealth gap will continue to grow as it has in all but one place in Europe for a little amount of time. I believe it was Slovakia, but it had been awhile since I read about it.

Currently this wealth gap is increasing in the entire world which has lead me to the conclusion along with other research that fascism has captured the world’s economy and has for some time.

Fascism doesn’t have a real left/right ideology either, but it will happily stroke the far right since their message is so effective due to propaganda. Fascism represents the monied interests and in theory if these entities were altruistic we would be living in a different world. So ultimately it is a cultural problem rather than a system issue which in a lot of ways is a bitter pill to swallow.

This does raise the question of inevitability. Will capitalism and fascism inherently lead to these wealth gaps that allow monied interests almost complete control of government policy. So far it appears so.

Is this a bad thing? I tend to believe yes due to several major issues with the top being environmental degredation and the next being arms proliferation. Human suffering due to these two issues is enormous and there doesn’t appear to be a way to counterbalance this.

"Between 2011 and 2019, the wealthiest 0.01 percent of households’ income increased by over 70 percent, "

You got me excited for a second, but I have already done this

“wealth inequality is high, where the richest 10% hold 56% of the total wealth (as of early 2025 data), compared to the bottom 90% sharing the rest.”

Also, the Dutch are fascist as fuck. Not as in fascism = bad but as in fadcism = corporatism.

As far as explaining what the dominant form of culture means here is an article based off the movie corporation. Obviously this is a US perspective, but all my research indicates that corporations are dominating all of Europe as well.

https://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/a-critical-look-at-the-corporations-dominant-role-in-society/

I never said fascism is the only cause of inequality. It is the evolution of corporatism which I believe has evolved into a corportocracy. The revolving door between private and public and regulatory capture have created the reality that corporations are the ones crafting and getting the majority of all policy passed around the world. While in the US is extreme at almost 90% of all policy, in Europe it is slightly better with 70-80% of all policy.

This is what dominant means.

Lol that is hilarious 😂

So then you can provide no example. As I have researched, there is no nation currently that has the trend of reducing the wealth gap. I understand you do not view this as proof and that is okay.

I brought up the fact that corporations are currently the dominant social construct in our society regardless of country. You can agree or disagree.

Thank you for responding, but please provide evidence of a country without an ever widening wealth gap or go home.

I get you don’t understand fascism. It is okay. As Mussolini put it is corporatism. The evolution of corporatism is a corportocracy. Corporations are the dominant form of all social constructs currently regardless of governments or cultures.

I also understand you are under the illusion that any country that exists provides the rights that human beings deserve. There is no country that exists that deserves humanity.

I produced evidence, I don’t speak other languages so my ability to conduct this type of research in other countries is limited. As I explained, my personal metric is an ever growing wealth gap.

Since I have provided evidence and I have done extensive research let’s turn this around. Please provide evidence of a country without an ever growing wealth gap and maybe I will believe we are not living in a fascist world.

Please, that is just the tip of the iceberg. I will gladly bring receipts.

They have done similar studies around the world. From my research the biggest indicator is a wealth gap. While this alone does not confirm fascism what does is an ever increasing wealth gap where an extreme minority of the population owns the majority of wealth.
