    Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

    Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

        As a medically morbidly obese guy, I have absolutely zero issues with invoking obesity as an apt technical description of the unhealthy and damaging consequences resultant of the tolerance of their existence.

        Those who qualify to be diagnosed as medically obese typically don’t have a readily available remedy for their condition, but the financially obese can legitimately be held solely responsible for their rehabilitation.

          Okay, you don’t speak for all of us. People like me really don’t like it, and think it contributes harm.

            My original post never even referred to you, unless you’re also morbidly wealthy.

            Manufacturing imaginary attacks similarly manifests harms to legitimate discourse.

    “See, it’s different from the Chinese social credit system. That one is based upon doing things that are good for society. This one is around doing things that are good for shareholders/capitalism. That makes this one okay.”

    To paraphrase the philosopher Carmela Soprano, “You know, Larryy, it’s a multiple-choice thing with you. ‘Cause I can’t tell if you’re old-fashioned, you’re paranoid, or just a fucking asshole.”

    So basically if you’re cozy with the system they will protect you and if they decide they don’t like you anymore they just release the dirt.

    And don’t forget dirt includes things that are legal and consensual but might not look good like being poly or sexting.

    The more these evil cunts keep pushing it the more I’m driven towards the ludite ways. AI can’t stop fire, and it can’t stop people from going to the homes of CEOs with said fire.

        Women’s porn histories would be worse: statistically, women are the ones who are way more into consensual non-consent (CNC aka “rape”) porn. Not that that’s widely available anymore, but analogues are around.

      Epstein was an employee. He didn’t exactly buy a private island in the world’s most expensive area with his teaching salary.
