Yes, I have heard about the concepts of “capitalism” and “oligarchy” before, I’m sorry i lack the space to write a Picketty-length dissertation in each post on a microblogging website

To be fair, at the height of the Picketty inequality focus, it was left-wingers declaring that the Roman Empire fell because of precisely the kind of moral rot they were worried about.
But yes, this is a consistent trend - modestly more common on the right than the left.

Yeah it just so happens that at any given time we can confidently say that the Roman Empire (the western one, or maybe the Republic, or maybe both) came to an end precisely because of the specific kind of moral rot right wingers are really worried about right now

C'est quand même surprenant que sur les chaînes de radio et de télé publiques, Julia Cagé soit présentée comme une simple économiste alors qu'elle et son époux Thomas Picketty sont des anticapitalistes patentés qui roulent pour le Nouveau Front Populaire, tendance LFI... 🤔

No, I cannot write a Picketty-length dissertation elucidating how I understand the various factors that have driven us to an increasingly centralized Internet (though I have published academic book chapters on data colonialism), I am posting on a microblogging website

Tax all billionaires with a 80% wealth tax. As Thomas Picketty suggested, we need to tax the rich down to size to save democracy. Wealth inequality is distorting everything. Ever have a conversation with a uber wealthy person or their corporate lackeys? They are not living on Earth.

Economists, specifically Picketty, have been clear that when r > g (return on investments is greater than growth) inequality grows and the ability of states to redress imbalances decreases.
To increase growth and regress inequalities you cannot target existing production. You must target capital.
