Meanwhile the Koch brothers seem to just want to dismantle all government. I don't think they're stupid or do I think other stupid rich people are. I think they're nihilistic and they got theirs so fuck the world cause their heirs are gonna have clean water no matter what. It's a pretty easy to understand thesis: rich people only care about themselves. You can take it to the point where they're funding Elon Musk so they can all go live on Mars but it breaks down when you realize how miserable living on Mars would be. It's as simple as saying the rich don't care about anything because they got theirs and their descendants will too for centuries Are the powerful conspiring against us re: climate change. Probably not. Does it matter? Also probably not but the ends are the same because their families are gonna ride the shit out in luxury
