@interfluidity I think it’s still underappreciated the degree to which billionaires are rejecting the entirety of the social contract. The problem for them becomes, at some point, that that social contract includes the bits about the people not dragging them from their homes and guillotining them in the public square.

Which is, of course, why controlling the media is existential for them.

Historically, that bet has not paid off in the long run. Ask the Romanovs and Ceaușescus, for example.
