Brutal to who? Wage theft is also brutal, but it's pretty obvious why the folk who "understand how money works" condone it. It's a tad credulous to think the billionaires donated against Mamdani out of a sense of noblesse oblige


Brutal to everyone. Society is a chain linked web, not a loose cluster.

I wish the people building bunkers, buying New Zealand citizenship, support razing social safety nets for tax cuts, and fetishize civilizational collapse (while simultaneously chipping at its foundations aggressively) realized this.


What about tax cuts for the rich, quantitative easing? Who are they brutal to? Everyone? Where in that chain linked web does it hurt the most when you distribute money to the wealthiest 10%?


Tax cuts are not distribution, in fact they are the opposite of distribution.


Tax cuts for those with lots of money, without cuts to government spending, and therefore giving rise to increased deficits, which sooner or later will wind up as inflation... that's distribution.
