No disagreement on the corruption, coercion, or economic exploitation.
Nor that there’s a straight line from their ability to manipulate the economic and legal systems… directly to their ability to evade justice for the worst crimes imaginable.
My concern is:
Tech libertarians using a (nearly-) universally-acknowledged and reviled scourge as a pretense to post in progressive spaces and sneak in neo-metallist sentiments like “taxation is theft” and “money-printing is fraud”.
I’m not saying OP or even OOP is one, for sure. But the meme does advance their narrative.
