It's like Saidit. Very few people actually work to post content on here while most just lurk and consume and complain that the workers are not posting content they like so something must be done.

This is not a left or right issue.
Both sides of the aisle are rich greedy assholes,
confused and dizzy from all the dollar signs and late stage capitalism.
What can we even do about a bunch of politicians injecting trillions into their stock accounts?

No you flaming moron! The solution is not dissolution of individual rights.

Bernard Sanders was born on September 8, 1941, in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. His father, Elias Ben Yehuda Sanders, was born in Słopnice, Galicia, in Austria-Hungary (now part of Poland), to a Jewish working-class family. In 1921.

Bernie Sanders is one of those selfish greedy capitalists along with being a lazy subversive jew that has never had a real job before.

The solution to this kind of thing, I think, is not in the kneejerk reflexive "rob them" idea. Then wealth flees, and it will not return, and the people who might become wealthy know that'll put them on the chopping block next. Rather, the solution is to buy in all of society in the same market that makes the wealthy rich. This is a sustainable basic income idea, like a 401k, but a societal wide index fund. Possibly of the entire world. For every penny in profit a listed company makes, so too would the citizenry. Through the "magic" of compound interest, such a fund would inevitably become self sustaining in merely a lifetime or two.
