The world we live in isn't just dystopic, it isn't just stupid, trying to describe all the ways it sucks just makes for a really boring story.

Jeff Bezos is so much more boring, lame and devoid of personality than a Bond Villain though it physically hurts my brain to try to relate the two in my head.

Double nothing is still nothing

Bezos paying any tax at all would be an improvement

I think what he's referring to is that even if you taxed him more right now, that money would just go to funding the trump admin, bombs, and ICE...

Just kidding, I don't think he actually cares about those things.

He wants more of those things. As does the rest of the Dark Enlightenment assholes.

Yeah, but they won't fund it through tax dollars, more like direct "donations" and kickbacks to the corrupt politicians and evil organizations implementing the agenda.

I almost left off the last sentence but then I remembered satire doesn't always transfer well over text
