Im pushing back against your idea that since an individuals wealth isn’t cash, it’s not worth accounting for.
I’m argueing that it’s a privilege that it can be accounted for. The power of wealth is limited, and doesn’t extend to limiting my freedom.
In many, maybe most, historical and contemporary societies, that’s not the case.
In fact, they are far more equipped to seize things like your land, your data, your means of subsistence, than you are to defend them.
The opposite, quite in fact. I still live in a country where there’s rule of law, and democracy. That shit rules 👍
I don’t think it’s a false equivalency: my point is, that fact that it can be accounted for is neat! What’s Ghadaffi’s net worth? It doesn’t even make sense to ask the question, as he can sentence thousands to death on a whim.
