Liberals don't care. Socialists / progressives do care. Bernie and AOC have consistently fought to expand class consciousness and to fight against the growing wealth disparity
If we turned SpaceX into a worker's co-op then I would also be fine with it, but I don't think replacing Elon with another billionaire would help anything. I truly believe nearly every single billionaire on earth is morally bankrupt and far too detached from reality. The best case scenario for the continuation of billionaires is that live like evil dragons hoarding all their wealth while the planet burns... But far too often, billionaires use their wealth to erode democracy and to ratchet the world towards fascism.
If we truly want to save our world then billionaires need to be abolished, capitalism needs to be converted into market socialism, and we need to make education and improving democracy our #1 priorities so that we can actually build functioning science driven governments that are willing to fight for data proven policies
The US oligarchs skim off the top of our military spending as well and every year it gets worse and worse. There are so many US soldiers living on food stamps while simultaneously their positions keep getting cut .
Give it time. When, not if, when Trump gives billions to fund Israel's genocide then people will be just as furious with him as they were when Biden did it.
Xhitter is full of bots and Nazis now so you won't see much criticism of Trump on Nazi Musk's shitty Nazi platform.
I can barely speak two languages. I tried to learn some Mandarin but apparently I am tone deaf because I cannot hear or get the tones right when I practice.
I think I am done voting for liberals. They come up with endless excuses why they cannot help the working class and when finally do anything it is to fund Israel's genocide or to give massive wins to Republicans by banning Tiktok the day before Trump was sworn in just so he could unban it.
When you consider the school shootings, mass shootings, insane medical debt, and the fact that we have 8x the traffic fatality rate per capita of many developed nations, etc, I don't blame people for seeing the US as being a lawless dumpster fire.
If you disagree, next time you are out driving try to estimate how many drivers actually follow the law (drive below the speed limit, stop at crosswalks, slow down even more when visibility is poor or there are pedestrians or children nearby, etc).
Also, how many people drive small cars that are cleaner and safer for our communities vs giant Wankpanzers? People who are willing to make our cities more polluted and more dangerous for everyone overall just to make themselves slightly safer are morally bankrupt even if they technically follow the law they don't value the spirit of the law.
For many Chinese, this is also their first time talking to Americans. There are a ton of stories of them asking us if school shootings and medical bankruptcy are real or if it is just CCP anti-US propaganda. It is gut wrenching when we have to tell them that all the terrible things they have heard about the US are not only true, but worse than they imagine
Or imagine if you replace every bike with a car and then have bumper to bumper traffic a mile long. When cars block roads no one gives it two thoughts. It is so frustrating how ignorant carbrains are
God forbid that anyone outside a car use and enjoy a publically owned roads. Cities should be exclusively for cars, not people, just like Jesus intended. /s
Capitalism is a wealth based caste system, but kids aren't taught that in school so many don't connect the dots until they are in college.
If we don't want people to value wealth above everything else maybe we shouldn't have a system that also prioritizes profits above people, the planet, science and everything else.
Anarcho-capitalists are just oligarchists or neo-feudalists who don't want people to realize that the more you weaken liberal democracy the stronger the billionaire class becomes
