I don't know. My elderly neighbor might be poor like me but his giant fucking Trump flag kind of makes me hope he dies because of Trump's policies, as well as miserable and alone.

I'll admit that's pure irrational spite politics. But the irrationality doesn't change how completely disinterested I am in joining forces with him against billionaires if he realizes he was wrong.

The people vs the rich/the corporations

And chess isn't good vs evil. It's kings vs the rest of us

well, queens really, the kings are useless

Almost as useless as billionaires, don't you think?

You might point out that queens are part of the ruling class, but they are still oppressed by patriarchy hence they have to do all the work while kings just hide away.

No one is free until everyone is free.

At least kings can castle if a rook is there to help, it isn't that cool, but you can say kings know how to get the fuck out of the way of the people who do actual work when they need to, which is something you can't say of any billionaire ever.

that is why, crash tesla stock so that Elon loan collateral will be cashed out by bank forcing Elon to pay tax.

Can we cut them out of society when we cut their taxes to 0? Seems fair. Just revoke their citizenship

Medicare can't help a guillotine

It was the decades of corrupted legislation from the "Right vs Left" mentality since Watergate that got them where they are. These billionaires, specifically these two clowns, are the metastasized end result of a cancer ridden system.

I’m of the opinion that the Cold War never ended. Instead, it became like Syphilis and low-key kept its head down for years before coming back with a vengeance.

What we need to do is fight back and force-educate our simpleton brethren that right now are victims of propaganda. This might be a good time now that there are those who are having their faces eaten by leopards.

Sure it’s deserved; it’s kinda funny; and fuck them for backing bone fide traitors; but they are still Americans, and at some level they deserve pity and empathy for their mistakes.

And if we take out of a few billionaires along the way, then all the better everyone is for it.

Give ‘em Hell!
