Elon Musk is a good example of what's wrong with modern capitalism.
It doesn't matter who you are or if you have any actual merits whatsoever. Once wealth starts coming your way, it will start a positive feedback loop until you own absolutely everything and nobody will understand how you "deserved" all that since you're not that smart or special in any way.
The world's richest man doesn't have to be the world's smartest, ingenious or hard working man.

The whole system would go down in a day if it wasn't for poor guys thinking "hmm... it would actually be pretty amazing to be the winner" Just like lottery, the whole game is rigged, but if there's the tiniest chance of absolutely buttfucking everyone else, it's worth the shot.

Every single day humanity as a collective has a choice:
>make everyone financially equal
or
>keep 99% so poor they will eat their own shit but you have a chance of living in a golden tower where you can shit down on the population and they will eat your shit


We choose the latter. Time and time again.

I was conditioned by the CIA (via 4chan) to always think of a certain third way when someone offers a dichotomy.

Social media provided irrefutable proof that the emperors have no clothes. Consequences will never be the same.

No one wants to live in a society where lazy drug addicts and retarded criminals have exactly as much as them regardless of how hard you work or how smart you are.

The fact that modern capitalism fails to live up to its promise of meritocracy does not mean people want to repudiate meritocracy as a concept, that’s retarded.

>>60530836 (OP)
so why are there so many people with generational wealth who haven't built even a tenth as much value as Elon has? having money is necessary but not sufficient. but it doesn't need to be your money--if you can convince someone with money to fund you, they will. you have a loser mentality, sorry.

Meanwhile, the world's smartest man is petting some horses near Mercer, Missouri, and the smartest woman solved some goats stats, refused to elaborate and checked out.

Sometimes, people manage to grow up without a defective personality and don't hoard and hog anything they can get their hands on, thinking they need it more or know best.

Dude all the people richer than you got where they are by doing crime. The most successful people are probably smoking weed, fapping to loli, and laughing at your morals right now.

Your complaint lies with fiat not voluntary exchange, slavemind

BTC is just a game for Blackrock and other institutions at this point
They bought it.

>>60531067
If they'd do just this they wouldn't be much of a problem.
Unfortunately, they are scheming how to grab more from those who have the least defences.

>>60531067
You justify someone agreeing to be paid a certain wage in exchange for their labor as a criminal act. You are fundamentally incapable of speaking on these issues with people that do not agree with you, and the the science backs that up.

>>60531329
Most of it is owned by private individuals, but ok? I guess we should stick to fiat which is actually owned and controlled by institutions. Great argument.

Metaplanet buys like 1000 BTC weekly. Does your average Joe own that much BTC or more like 20mBTC?

>the wealth = providing value meme
most of his wealth comes from government EV tax credit gibs.

>>make everyone financially equal
THat will never happen, faggot. And even the ones that preach they want that to happen, says so they can have a moral high ground. We, humans, need to see someone doing worse than us, its part of our evolutive instinct.
Commies dont get that, because they are either undermining jews or retards with sub 100 IQ.

>>60531067
The richest people in the world are a closed clique selected by jews or government officials (chinese). They are the problem. If it wasn't because of kikes, we would be taxing all billionaires, hanging all politicians that use their influence to trade stocks, and destroy corruption for once.
