Related: it is obscene, immoral, anti-democratic, and a scourge on society for anyone to accumulate the level of wealth of people like @elonmusk, @realDonaldTrump, @georgesoros, and @BillGates. It's time that We the People separate these people and their heirs from their power.

America didn’t break free from empire—it rebranded it. Rich colonists & enslavers dumped the king to avoid taxes. That’s what July 4th really marks. Now a new king is rising not in spite of that legacy—but because of it. The founding project was never democracy. It was oligarchy.
