Rainn Wilson has exactly the kind of take you'd expect from a Hollywood faux-intellectual type:

Morals b slipping but it definitely has to do with wealth too. You can't say "race has nothing to do with crime, I've met a few white carjackers myself"

What I'm saying is that "wealth inequality" isn't a factor. It certainly isn't a "threat to civilization" either.

It absolutely is a threat to civilization, and it's easy to prove. You know Blackrock is a threat. Just extend the logic.

Disney could literally afford to propagandize children for nearly 10 years before they started to see any consequences.

Black Rock is a threat because of who they are. Not what. The inability to leave decent people alone, the desire to control towards immoral outcomes, greed and hunger for souls, those things are evil.

Having more of something than you? That's not evil.

Inequality is a fact of the universe. "Equal" is a false idol and a satanic principle.

He didn't say having more made them evil, he said it made them a threat.

Wealth inequality is a bit like "proliferation of nuclear weapons" yeah the existence of the weapons isn't evil, but the more of it that exists the higher the odds get that some bastard will get notions

Evil? I'm not assigning automatic moral status to hyper rich people. I'm not a communist. But someone (or a corporation) with $50 billion is playing Simcity with cheat codes and that's a lot of power for someone to wield without getting corrupted.

Inequality and hierarchy are permanent and necessary, but simple ideology has its limits as hierarchy deepens. That's the practical reality.

Your interests and the interests of billionaires are not the same. They want cheap labor flooding the country, a deracinated proto-consumer feeding on goyslop, and in some cases they have a God complex and a transhuman mission. Are there a few good ones? Sure. Do we keep supporting low corporate taxes and making ourselves irrelevant like the last 20 years? No.
