I wonder if when he says "necessary" he's referring to some longtermism weird BS.
I mean, he's definitely referring to some weird BS. But I wonder whether specifically it's longtermism BS.
I read recently "On Freedom" by Timothy Snyder and he mentions that. Billionaires are sucking or wealth and when we suffer, we are told that this is temporary and toward a greater good (which never comes).
Sadly it is successful and a lot of Americans believe that.
It opened my eyes seeing how we are set up to fight each other (blaming minorities) while oligarchs are making our lives more miserable by hoarding country's wealth.
