    Where is the nuance in who a billionaire exploits for their wealth?

    There is a clear difference between someone with 1-3 rentals and someone who owns half a town. Should there be landlords at all? No. Are the small scale ones evil? Probably not.

    That being said, fuck it, god will sort them out. we need the energy this has brought up and I don’t want to see a god damned thing tempering it.

      It’s not about nuance, it’s just running defense.

      There’s a difference between tempering, and making sure the artillery is aimed at the most valuable targets.

      We need this energy to stay pointed at the 1%, and to not get mixed up in the weeds. The last time we had energy like this was Occupy Wall Street, and the momentum was killed by attempting to expand the scope from the initial target of the 1%.
