Ok. But if "Western-style billionaires" provide peace and prosperity, don't leave us hanging on what's causing all the misery and poverty!

Poverty is the default state of humanity. Also, a lot of misery comes from people having misguided worldviews, getting slowly radicalized by untrue assumptions.

I'd say media and advertising are the most likely. I'm pretty happy with the products I buy, I get good value. No complaints on the billionaires from me

  • I'm happy for you that you're middle class and can afford your daily livelihood. See you later when that's no longer the case.

  • You are aware that billionaires are a very much controlling advertising and media? There is no neutral 3rd party that advertises other peoples products just to shake things up.

  • What if, hypothetically, in order to fix or otherwise rid ourselves of the media and advertising we had to accept the disappearance of the billionaires? Would it be worth it?
