Again, I don’t fundamentally disagree, I just think things are already much worse than you’re giving them credit for, and that the person of the top of the capitalism pile being even richer than the others doesn’t have as much of a direct impact on those of us already being fucked by the rich for it to matter.
The idea that someone like Boris or Cameron, or any of the royals, has any idea how people like you and me live is just as absurd as if it’s Rishi.
Othering them (they are absolutely not a different species) and pretending as if the catastrophe isn’t already here (and that Rishi or not, we’ve been ruled over by billionaires for as long as there have been billionaires) just seems to me to be focusing on the wrong part of it all (one individual instead of the system that enables him to exist at all), and is counterproductive.
We have come to fundamentally different insight into the psyches of the rich and the ultra rich. There’s a reason I say that for me they might as well be adiiferent species, we’ll see in the fullness of time how this develops. Both the system and the individual in it can be problem. Glossing over an, in my mind, fundamental difference is a mistake. But that’s my opinion of course. It’s clear you do not get my argument and that’s that.
I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this subject. Fact is that the world is in serious peril, and the foundations of our system are shaking at its core.
