My argument for what drives the decline of late stage capitalism is centered around nepotism

Posted on September 8, 2026 at 09:24:00 AM by Ks

At a certain point, having rich parents is a larger marker of future wealth than actual intelligence or ability and we've crossed that.

Fucko, dipship Elon, Zuck etc. The worst people in the world are products of nepotism leading stupid fucks to gain immense power

- The title, of course, begs the question why are we so fucking stupid? Who benefits from a stupid population? Maybe the book asks these already. * - By jhamm September 8, 2026 at 10:26:17 AM

  - Depends how you define stupid. He isn’t particularly bright, though. A litany of things he says/believes would suggest he isn’t particularly bright.* - By Eric September 8, 2026 at 09:50:57 AM

  - Inheritance tax! I may have been premature with it here in 2002 but I'm spot on now.* - By ftb September 8, 2026 at 09:26:26 AM
    - Yes! This is my dream policy, tax all inheritance over a number like $5m (adjust for inflation) 99-100%. It would force dipshits to spend rather than horde and eliminates the worst nepo fucks from getting to the level they get to - By Ks September 8, 2026 at 09:33:53 AM

- I don't care much for either of those. How about: "How MAGA chose ignorance over fact." - By GoBrew September 8, 2026 at 08:59:33 AM
