And other people learn that targeting the most minor and irrelevant of symptoms expecting it to cure the disease is never going to accomplish anything, but rather give people false feelings of hope while doing nothing but waste time and resources while the cancer metastasises and gets significantly worse. ¯\(ツ)/¯
hmmm, this rings a bell.. 🤔
Oh yeah:

it could definitely cause him some serious damage.
You clearly don't understand just how much hundreds of billions of dollars is.
Try this:
Because the powers that be and the systems they have in place (capitalism, Christian white supremacy, patriarchy, cis-heteronormativity) benefit in one way or another.
If they teach us that Julius Caesar was a bad guy and that it's good he was defeated, then we might learn that our current leaders are often bad guys too, and that maybe we should do the same to them.
In the same way that if they teach us that Hitler took his inspiration for the holocaust from already firmly established American racism, we might learn that our own history is just as bad and should be fought against at all cost (which is also what we're taught instead of the reality - the allies fought the Nazis because they threatened their own power, not because of an ideological disagreement).
That's why we're not taught (or only given a palatable token example) about working people fighting the owning class for basic rights, Black brown and Indigenous people fighting the Christian white supremacist establishment and winning, and other oppressed groups standing up to their oppressors (E: nor most of the atrocities they have and continue to commit).
Whitewashing history is always a deliberate act, and is always done in defence of the ruling class.
Putin and Saudis know this and exploit the fuck out of Don.
Is it being exploited when in return they get you the ~~future dictator~~ POTUS position?
And it's nothing out of the ordinary either, all main stream media is owned by other billionaires doing exactly the same, only they're better at or at least more invested in keeping the mask on.
Like I said, its monetary value is of no consequence to him, even if he loses it tomorrow he'll still be one of the richest people on earth by a long way. And it's certainly more than a toy to him, and while he might often act like a petulant manchild, don't think for a second that he doesn't know exactly what he's doing (not only with twitter, but with embedding his interests in defence and space agencies for example, without having to personally know anything about running or operating in those industries either).
He has no clue how to run a business.
This isn't a business to him, it doesn't need to be, its monetary value is insignificant to him, it was always about having control of an established platform, and feeding its audience his propaganda.
You are literally just describing how the "middle class" is artificial and manufactured, not an actual thing. High earning working class people are still working class people. Making you think otherwise serves the owning class by dividing the working class and pitting us against each other, and providing a fictional carrot (becoming part of the owning class) and the motivation to step over others to try and get it (but you never will, unless you win a lottery, which is a similar carrot) (E: and no, owning one rental, while still problematic because the essence of landlordism is, doesn't quite make someone part of the owning class, but it will make them much more likely to vote for owning class interests because they've been made to believe they're one of them, or will be soon).
For the middle class to be dead, it would have had to be real in the first place, but it has always been an illusion.
There is the owning class and the working class.
If you don't own the means of production (and or a load of property to leech rent off of), you are part of the working class, however uncomfortable that might make someone with the "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" mentality feel. The lie exists in the first place to create and feed that mentality, to ensure at least some working class people consistently vote against their own interests.
I love Led By Donkeys, and fuck Liz Truss and any Tory, but why are they wasting their resources on an ex-ex-PM who isn't even in parliament anymore? It's not like we've exactly run out of serving donkeys to target..
Classic "Thanks, I'm cured!"
