I ask you the same question. Are you saying that wealth beyond $100M is actual evidence of crime and scourge?
i just think that it seems fairly clear that as wealth increases so to does the likelihood that some sort of exploitation or malevolence occurred in the process of acquiring all of that wealth.
 
How do you mean?
Merely that Miller prefers a rapidly mustered legion of less trained and violent men to terrorize the streets of American. His project is race sciencey and violent domination. Lots of impulsive proud boys in ice uniforms with terrible trigger discipline works in his favor.

Ah.

I thought you meant the leaks, not the Brownshirts.

I dare say some level of exploitation is in play at every stage of the creation of "wealth," from the meagerest pouch hidden under the makeshift mattress to the grandest brocade of King Farouk (to say nothing of the more quietly and less showily acquired assets over decades and generations and centuries, which seems to hold a spot of special scorn amongst some folks upon whom forturne has not yet smiled so brightly). I would also venture to substitute the word "life" for "wealth" in that last sentence, in which case, if true (and I believe it is), the old phrase "don't hate the player, hate the game" comes to mind. Like, immediately. Maybe what's tripping me up here is the seeming equation of exploitation with malevolence. Certainly not saying that is never the case and perhaps is frequently the case (granting how malleable and manifold a term like "frequently" is), but certainly not always the case...
