<p>One group voted for nicely speaking tax free zillionaires. Another one voted for hate speaking zillionaires.<p>Third one didn't want to vote for zillionaires.<p>Perhaps next time there'll be someone to vote not representing the zillionaire-class?</p>

<p>Modus operandi for the leading democracy in the world has been war also before. Now it's only bit more erratic and honest.<p>I sure hope that after this the return won't be the previous normal.</p>

<p>What if the whole world population would have F-Y money enough for subsistence and would not have to perform the act of asskissing or complying? Not luxury but basic needs met alright, something like the basic income the democrats blocked during Nixon era(twice actually).<p>How fast we'd fix this shit?</p>

<p>Okay, I'm seeing a lot of old industrial/growth speech in the established left too, and the economic talk doesn't differ that drastically from the greens eternal growth vision.<p>I guess I'm thinking anything that doesn't hilight the tax free global narcissist pedi meta-zillionaire class tax evasion scheme to be one (or THE) root causes and also the easy fixes.<p>I talked to a lot of candidates from different parties during last spring campaigning and what I drew from proposing a "global fix the zillionaire-issue" was that new candidates saw this as a, perhaps unlikely, but a mandatory step in gaining a future for normal people.<p>And I talked to few front line politicians from the left and sdp and they didn't see any need for fixing the issue with individuals who've accumulated enough power.<p>Perhaps some of the top politicians also think this way but haven't realized that this is what the actual human beings want.<p>Or wanted a year ago, things are significantly worse for the normal people on both sides of the aisle.</p>

<p>Yup, I'm still thinking that also the right has had some moral foundations and even some classical Christian values before, but just like Mamdani has centraled already the right has been Republican-Jesused from the classical Jesus (not that they ever were 100% that).<p>But the both show (at least to me) the corruption by power thus compromising. Either consciously or un.<p>I'm seeing as the natural solution, something that has been a bit field tested here in Finland, that we start the discussion on what is the safe limit for individual power or money before the risk of corruption. After the latest year almost everyone agrees that this is a conversation we must have to stand a chance.</p>

<p>I'm from Finland and more aligned to the left I guess.<p>I'm trying to distance myself from though as I'm currently seeing everything as merely corrupt (by power) elite vs. normal people.<p>But yes, perhaps the thing I'm looking after is something like the real equality side, which to me doesn't seem to exist as even the left here in Finland seems to disregard the laws of physics and nature in terms of the impossible eternal growth.</p>

<p>I consider "this" right to be moral in a different way.<p>Now the right all around the world is hijacked by narcissistic greed that punishes any voicing of conservative moral.<p>In the US some republicans are daring to challenge the extreme narcissistic greed and a lot more are thinking about this privately.<p>I also mentioned the other dichotomies and perhaps the "right" could be hopelessness and the the "left" false hope.<p>As in "no point trying to curb the emissions or addressing any social causes, because the zillionaires choke hold of the planet" vs. the "eternal green growth and economy will save us and make us rich".<p>The Trump humangod class is not the right IMO.<p>I believe that power (via money or absolute power) corrupts and thus me must find a way to prevent individuals from becoming human-gods.<p>The left (without the "") pretends to know this but ends up being corrupted anyway and the right (the one that has some moral and spine left) seems to believe that they will not be corrupted by power.<p>Hope that explains it a bit better.</p>

<p>At least now the masks (and Musks) are off.<p>It was never between the left and the right or any other false dichotomies, but always between the Epstein-class and the actual human beings.<p>The question now is that do the normal people realize and act on the fact that the elevator to Epstein class was never working. Or even better, they don't want to become the zillionaire class husk of a human.</p>
