    None of that means there shouldn’t be an equal process, just that there isn’t one at present. I think you both are completely correct, the challenge is how do we reach a society that can hold someone accountable, no matter what their wealth level? Alternatively, how do we prevent someone from becoming so wealthy they suborn society?

      Never in our lifetimes has there been a system where the wealthy are given equal treatment, and the only brief moments that they were are sparks in history that quickly were snuffed out wherever they arose

      Stop carrying water for your oppressors, they aren’t giving you a space at the table

      lternatively, how do we prevent someone from becoming so wealthy they suborn society?

      build a society that values something other than money. On small scales it works great, artist communes, religious communities, homesteaders. They will all tell you that money isn’t the most important thing.

      Unfortunately that takes several decades of cultural shift for large scale change, and money will fight you every step of the way.

      Wealth isn’t the issue, it’s the concentration and hoarding of it for power and control.

      If I could thanos snap away all the sociopaths, it would solve itself in 15 years
