It’s winter here, and I wear two or three layers with a sweater on top, because I am saving electricity.

We’ll have ourselves our first trillionaire, and silly me hates all the people with 500mil+ net worth, and their bootlickers.

My point is that what you are saying is simply a convention that for most of us made sense for a long time.

I contend there do exist conditions under which that convention goes away. And at bottom we are all capable of violence.

Not if Elmo owns all the sattelites, then it won’t be the Internet.

Nobody has a monopoly on violence.

Might does not make right. But might does make policy.

The good people need wisdom and might, both. Then we will set policy and it won’t suck.

The world has to work for all its denizens and not just for the “top” (only in some sense, not in every sense) 0.01%.

I don’t want to build a gallows from which I myself will be hanged. I am not a masochist. I don’t hate myself.

I can get used to the billionaires begging me.
