Yeah, but it's ok because a few hundred people get to have more money than god.
Can fairytales have money?
Considering most of their wealth is speculative anyway, I'd say it's fair to assume imagined entities can be included on the scoreboard.
Even if they can’t, wouldn’t that just mean that the category “more money than god” is just larger than you’d think at first?

This figure seems to come from the Black Book of Communism except multiplied by 2.
Nah its from Death by Government: Genocide and Mass Murder Since 1900 by R.J. Rummel https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/998056.Death_by_Government
Interesting guy
Doesn't have to have perfect opinions on everything to write a good book. Look at Marx and his views on jews/minorities or Schopenhauer and his views on women.
looks interesting
Covers lots of governments. It's pretty dense but manageable.
Two hundred million? They managed to double their kill count since 2000? Impressive, especially considering the lack of invading Nazis to mow down en masse for easy numbers.
It includes the children who are never going to be born because Elon was sad and couldn't get boner with all his female employees

My favorite is when they try to spin any communist leader as a good guy. Stalin in particular.
No such thing as a communist leader.
Ain't most of the communist death nazis ? Are you guys crying out for nazis ?
