      The world doesn’t suck

      The world is awesome

      There are a few handfuls of expansionist narcissistic oligarchs, dictators and uber rich that ruin the experience for everyone else.

      Seriously, we hang a few dozen very specific guys from the gallows and literally the world would be saved the next day. All of the sudden genocides are over, we can focus fully on stopping climate change, we can form a UN that can enforce peace, we can implement wealth caps where nobody gets crazy rich anymore… Can you imagine?

      Seriously… That is the weirdness of the problem. We have a few people with so much power that 8 billion of us have their lives ruined by at most a few hundred

      I would change John Lenno’s “imagine” to “imagine we hang the parasite class and implemented wealth caps, it isn’t hard to do”

        Mh sorry but there are FAR FAR more, like orders of magnitude, people that make it worse for everyone else just so they can have even the slightest advantage (or even just so others have none).
