The Gilded Age---The Late 1800's

[Harpy Eagle]

Why do you have such a hardon for Bezos? He is a self made billionaire who came up with an amazing business model and turned it into a massive empire. That is the sort of thing that hard core conservatives used to admire...now they are just jealous...sad

LOL.

Bezos is a psychopath. A fraction of his absurd wealth could end all homelessness in the nation. His employees are paid peanuts and some have to seek government assistance, yet he lives in opulence no other human in all of human history has experienced.

jealous much?

Yeah that’s it.

Can’t fix stupid.

So, that is what is wrong with you...it cannot be fixed.

sort of makes sense based off of your post on this forum

Amazon is approaching monopoly status

They broke up Standard Oil and AT&T as monopolies

Amazon is next

The Only way that happens, is Bezos stops his protection payments.

"It was a period where greedy, corrupt industrialists, bankers and politicians enjoyed extraordinary wealth and opulence at the expense of the working class. In fact, it was wealthy tycoons, not politicians, who inconspicuously held the most political power during the Gilded Age."

I am a hard core conservative in near despair for my children and grandchildren over the ever-growing INVASION of our country of its southern border, by third world parasites who will help Democrat/Socialists complete the job of turning this great country, the greatest thus far created, into yet another Marxist Experiment.

But, I also read History and look for precedent, because, as Mark Twain said: History may not repeat itself, but it often rhymes.

This is true because Human Nature, if it changes at all, does so very slowly, so slowly that any change is noticeable only over millennia.

The invention of the Internet, which gave rise to these massively rich assholes in Silicon Valley, like Jeff Bezos, is comparable to what is known as the Gilded Age in America--the time in the late 19th Century when Robber Barons from the Northeast got so rich and so corrupt and owned so many politicians--that their wealth and their misuse of it became a threat to the country in general.

Even you poor folks educated in rotting Northern cities controlled by Democrats and their Marxist Teachers Unions for half a century have probably heard of Bezos-like turds----Rockefeller, Mellon., Carnegie, Vanderbilt, Morgan.

Back then, they were called Robber Barons; today they are called Globalists.

Back then, it took a half crazy man like Theodore Roosevelt to rein them in. It was not a fight against Capitalism, it was a fight against the single bad side effect of Capitalism---if not controlled--and that is Greed and the love of power that Greed induces.

For his efforts, which helped to save Capitalism in this country not destroy it, Theodore Roosevelt is on Mount Rushmore with Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln.

________________

Reining in turds like Bezos, and the politicians and newspapers he has bought like toys to serve his own corrupt agenda is in the interest of all Americans. And much like the French Yellow Jackets which include both Trumpie Nationalists and Socialists alike---temporarily united to fight fight a common enemy---massively wealthy Oligarchs--it is time for all Americans to unite and stop the Globalists Oligarchs who have hollowed out the middle class in this country and redistributed our wealth to places like China.

Now, the rankest fools out there, in my opinion, are people like Elizabeth Warren and Alexandra Ocacio- Cortez. They are so foolish they think Marxism is the answer, but it they would wise up just a little and realize, as Theodore Roosevelt did, that it is the Modern Day Robber Barons who are perverting Capitalism, I could agree with them for just a while.

Every American should realize that we are deep in the midst of another Gilded Age, and that something must be done about the Robber Barons of today and soon, or Marxism will take us all down.

Just my opinion.

It's funny how you mock "marxists" and attack capitalists like Vanderbilt in the same breath.

You are positively schizophrenic, kiddo.

By the way. Carnegie gave away his entire fortune to philanthropy.

You are so right.

We know our government is bought and paid for by globalists, like the psychopath Bezos. Also, notice how Trump initially condemned Amazon and Bezos only to have the establishment media condemn him for it. Donnie has said little since. I suspect Bezos and some of the other billionaire globalists, have more political power than the POTUS.

It's amazing how Trump has made you tards sound exactly like the anarchists who toss firebombs at McDonalds during WTO protests.

Whining about "globalists" and "the Establishment". Christ, you are turning into those fucking 60s hippies with flowers and lice in their hair.

 

[g5000]

You tards do realize Trump is one of those billionaire globalists you hate so much, right?

RIGHT!?!?

What I cannot get is how does one who claims to be an anarchists advocate for government interference in private companies for being to successful.

 

[g5000]

Speaking of evil billionaire globalists...

 

[g5000]

The one and only reason the tards are attacking Bezos is because Trump is ordering them, too. These willfully blind and stupid rubes parrot what they are told to parrot.

And Trump is attacking Bezos because of the unflattering stories in the Washington Post.

Trump hates a free press.

That's what this is. The "globalist" horseshit is just that. Horseshit. And the tards shovel it into their mouths like it's cotton candy.

That's why the tards sound so schizophrenic. Whining about "globalism" while simultaneously fellating a globalist in public every single day.

The only reason that Trump attacked Bezos is because the newspaper he owns said mean things about Trump.

And just look at all of them. Soros, Bezos, Schultz, Buffett, Gates, that little teen who runs Facebook, they are all flaming Dims.

I think their aim is to destroy competition by advocating for anti-business policies via socialism.

They have made their money, so income to attain wealth is no longer an issue for them.

You see what I mean about the pseudocons becoming more and more like the 60s hippies?

They want successful businessmen punished for their success.

It just doesn't get more commsymp hippie than that!

Most of them WERE hippies in the 60s...now they're ...just in their 60s
