    So how do you think Bezos/Amazon should be dealt with then since he's about to become a trillionaire?

    Today's situation successfully brings to the surface all the contradictions. Defenders of various bezoses should be strained, because pittance from the master's table will be scarcer.
    You have Stockholm syndrome, comrade - it often develops among those who themselves do not give up hope of becoming at least the most long unsold "sir" and to fully recoup, oppressing those who have not become "honorable gentlemen" themselves. Take away from you this redneck dream - and life will lose its meaning.
    unregulated capitalism is a bitch for us normies while a blessing for the rich and powerful.

    The most interesting thing is that all these normies believe that each of them will, if desired, necessarily become Bezos if he works hard, and now he is simply experiencing temporary financial difficulties.
    Yes, someone will become the richest - but only one who has already been born among the richest.
    But you cannot convince anyone of this. [Unregulated] Capitalism is similar to playing against the casino, if you are not part of casino yourself.

    Yeah. Imagine that the economy of a nation as a cake. Now, imagine that half of the cake goes to only 1% of the population who are the rich and powerful while the other half rest goes to 99% of the population. While the rich and powerful get much more richer by the increase of the GDP via legal immigration which means more purchasing power in said country, the other half of the cake that goes to us normies will only get a smaller percentage for each working individual of it aka lower wages and salaries and higher inflation for housing, medicine, food and so on.

    It cannot be dealt with with our current system.

    In America we have laws to prevent such things, Michael Bloomberg spent an entire third world nations treasury on his his campaign and look how that played out having more access doesn't equate to more influence.

    What kind of system is the closest to ideal in your opinion? You said you're not a Marxist and you don't seem to be full on board with capitalism either.

    There should be regulations and laws to keep the nation's wealth more evenly distributed and so on. Uncontrolled capitalism is just as bad as communism, and when you mix capitalism with politics it will always leads to oligarchy. There's a say "one dollar equals to one vote" in the US.

    I liked South Park episodes on Jeff Bezos and Amazon.
