I don't understand how this data visualization doesn't inspire everyone to stand outside Elon's houses and businesses with a torch and a guillotine.
Or at least vote for someone who will tax the motherfucker.

@fraying I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that as a collective, we humans just aren't very bright.
@fraying@xoxo.zone I feel like that doesn't give credit to all those centuries of hard work that's gone into refining propaganda to concentrate wealth. It's fucking difficult to get humans to fight for their oppressor. We're smarter than you think. The bullshit just has us all feeling like we have to pretend to be responsible adults who know how the world works and don't ask inconvenient questions.
Good example! This is just what I was talking about!
