    Venice "suburbs" are basically the industrial zone or the farm lands. It's different than NA or Australian burbs.

      He knows but part of the major economic benefits for the city are already in his pockets

      Well yeah, most likely that. I want to believe that there are some politicians and city officials and such who are just too stupid to realize the problems with capitalism. I just don't wanna think bad of all my fellow humans, you know. That style of useless universal misanthropy is so 2008-2011 thinking for me personally.

        "We are very proud of this! We are nobodies, we have no money, nothing!" Tommaso Cacciari, from a group calling itself No Space for Bezos, told the BBC.

        "We're just citizens who started organising and we managed to move one of the most powerful people in the world - all the billionaires - out of the city."

        The wedding kicks off later this week, and has a star-studded guest list of the rich and famous that is rumoured to include Kim Kardashian, Mick Jagger and Leonardo diCaprio, as well as several of the Trumps.

              Remember when dolphins actually returned to the city for a little while? That's how it's supposed to be for citizens. Bezos should just tour somehwere that needs more tourism. I think the deep sea is open.

                        Keep on serfin' simp.

                        You need people to organize and give directions. People on their own are trapped in the routines they have. There will never be built something pretty like Venice without leaders. All you do by making the recognition of leadership toxic is that there won't be leaders [that you can choose or build up] who organize a better life for you.

                        To add to this:

                        Venice is the historic city of global trade that is filled with tourist second homes. To celebrate with the inhabitants is simping on its own. The working people don't live in Venice anymore. People who object are other rich people who feel diminished because they cannot rent the city themselves.

                        The elephant in the room is the introduction of the tourist ticket for Venice. How can Bezos rent the city? He must have bought all tickets for the day. Now, was the ticket introduced by his influence to make that possible? That would be something to object, not the renting itself.

                          rome conquered and enslaved millions of people. then became so beholden to consuming that they consumed themselves. Then they allied with the nazies. They are definitely very pretty people though.

                          The mongols surpassed Italy and rome by a wide margin, its strange how no one worships them. could it be? Could be it because they weren't white?

                          keep on simpin serf. The time for emperors and kings should be over, but here we have 'little people' begging for the ruling class to just spit a little of their bread crumbs into their mouths. its ridiculous

                                You’re only bringing that up because it’s a highly relevant and logical solution to the problem of isolated and ego driven wealth objectively and negatively affecting society on a global scale, way to strawman, libtard.

                                  Nothing was ever built by a person on a computer.

                                  Don't diminish his work. If you want billionaires to have less influence you have to replace what they do. If you think they do nothing then you have nothing to understand.

                                  Of all places, Venice is in the top 5 of places that cannot complain about being commercialized and rented out. Simping for Venice just shows how big the hate for Bezos is which isn't justified when looking at the criticism:

                                  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Bezos

                                  Where does the hate come from? He shows the limits of worker organized structures in comparison. All the unemployed could have built Amazon by themselves. The focus should be placed on finding new forms of cooperation, not on hating Bezos.

                                    The mongols ... Could be it because they weren’t white?

                                    As far as I know, the mongols ended slavery. That's the big no no.

                                    begging for the ruling class to just spit a little of their bread crumbs into their mouths. its ridiculous

                                    Yes, like simping for the people of Venice who are allowed to live in the pretty city.

                                    But telling me to not simp for Bezos. Instead U should beg in style and protest for more handouts.

                                    However, I am not simping for Bezos but pointing out the double standard for Venice.

                                    time for emperors and kings should be over

                                    Bezos is just one of the richest people. He hasn't created the system. Others did and do. Focussing on Bezos isn't helpful to understand what needs to change.

                                      Having all those billionaires there gathered at once would be a massive opportunity to create a huge transferable amount of wealth under the right circumstances.

                                      After reading Kim Stanley Robinson's The Ministry for the Future, I've just been crossing my fingers for homemade drones to start taking down private planes.

                                        Jesus Christ, this is the worst case of billionaire apologia I’ve ever seen. You are just going to town on those boots.

                                        Great Man Theory is the worst kind of cuckoldry

                                        Jesus Christ

                                        Do you see what you did?

                                        You are missing my point entirely.

                                        of great men, or heroes: highly influential and unique individuals who, due to their natural attributes, such as superior intellect, heroic courage, extraordinary leadership abilities, or divine inspiration, have a decisive historical effect.

                                        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_man_theory

                                        My argument is that there is no need to rely on divine leaders. Any leader could do. But for that, a climate must exist that fosters leaders so that some are available. By being toxic, the left eliminates their leaders and they end up as customers of Amazon, which they despise, but cannot change.

                                          Nothing was ever built by a person on a computer.

                                          Don't diminish his work. If you want billionaires to have less influence you have to replace what they do. If you think they do nothing then you have nothing to understand.

                                          Of all places, Venice is in the top 5 of places that cannot complain about being commercialized and rented out. Simping for Venice just shows how big the hate for Bezos is which isn't justified when looking at the criticism:

                                          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Bezos

                                          Where does the hate come from? He shows the limits of worker organized structures in comparison. All the unemployed could have built Amazon by themselves. The focus should be placed on finding new forms of cooperation, not on hating Bezos.

                                          Lemmy, the software you're using right now, was built by a person on a computer. As was the operating system your computer uses to function.
