I’m 45 and since I was a kid I heard my father telling me his gen was the last getting richer than the one before.
We (westerns), did reach the peak and now every gen will be poorer year after year.
That’s why rich people is hoarding wealth like never before. That’s why Elmo wants to establish fascism, abolish worker rights and wants the people doing more childs. It doesn’t matter for him if we get even poorer, he just wants to make his wealth future proof.
Sure, I took Elmo as a reference, bit I should have said the 1%, or the establishment or whatever.
The 1% needs a basement to stay on. The wider it get, the more stable it will be. Since the piramid it’s not getting taller anymore, they’re trying to make it wider at the bottom.
It might do a difference in some situations, but probably not here.
AOC for example as a lot of power if compared to her wealth, while Musk sucks at politics and needs the money to achive power. At the same time AOC is galaxies away from the power Musk has just because of his money.
Putin for example wants to hide it, but he’s not only powerful, before the war was worth 200 billions. I see money and power like interchangeable things.
The term you’re looking for is social capital and this is what I mean. We agree more than we don’t, but I like breaking the terms down a bit more for conversational purposes. It’s important to talk about these things.
But as a “social capital” seeker, I’m keen to see more the typical italian mafia boss. He lives in a concrete hole in a small bs town but he can bend the government to his interests. That’s the pure love for the power.
Musk is way simplier. He wants people to say he’s good. He’s a child.
But he’s also an asshole, so people doesn’t love him and he doubles down, in his search for appreciation.
no. it’s about fear, and a whole… thing. when you live in hierarchy, you’re never REALLY safe unless you’re on top, unless the only power is you, not principles not axioms not morality. you.

His wealth already is future proof, this is something else. This is about power.

That’s still about power not wealth.
I don’t understand why you care so much, for me money and power get along 🤷
In our system they are synonymous
I think so.

Precisely.
