 This is the avatar of BladeoftheSun, who exposes the evil of capitalism and billionaires Visual Exposé of Capitalism

This is a visual exposé of capitalism.
BladeoftheSun on Bluesky often posts helpful images and insights on exposing capitalism and billionaires.

I have categorised the images, but be aware that the categories overlap.

Accurate Names
The wealthy are not "elite". They are better called "the predator class".
"Wealthy" = "Predator Class"
Some even suggest they are the "Paedophile Class" (e.g. the Epstein files)
Not "billionaires". Call them "robber barons".
"Billionaires" = "Robber Barons"
Scooby-Doo cartoon, where leader Fred Jones exposes the villain by lifting his mask. "Economic growth" is exposed as mass transfer of wealth to the rich and planetary destruction.
"Economic growth" = mass transfer of wealth to the rich & planetary destruction

Deflection by Cookies

The original image comes first. It shows Rupert Murdoch telling a white-skinned worker to be careful of the immigrant or dark-skinned, skint man across the table. Because the latter might take the worker's only cookie. Meanwhile, Murdoch's plate is piled with cookies.
This is a master class exposé on media propaganda, greed, evil, deflection, distraction, racism, xenophobia, police brutality, oligarchy, authoritarianism.

Evil
A man considers whether the world is ruled by a small group of hyper-wealthy psychopaths. He thinks not because it would have been on the news - the news which is owned by which is owned by that small group of hyper-wealthy psychopaths.

A quote by Bill McGuire that says we are not in the Anthropocene age, but rather the Capitalocene age. He identifies the political-economic system that is capitalism as the issue. This is an age driven by greed, short-term profit and a complete disregard for everything else.

Jesus says: to the sick, get insurance; to the stranger, are you her legally?; to the hungry, my taxes better not be paying for your loaves and fishes; to the poor, it's your own fault. This is a corruption of Jesus and Christianity that many modern Christians practise (e.g. USA).

Text that explains: "There is nothing the remotest bit natural about capitalism. The bees are not stockpiling honey to sell at a profit. The trees are not charging the bees to build their hive. The soil is not leasing itself to the flowers. The sun is not sending bills to them all. None of these beings are trying to seek some kind of predatory advantage from the next. They are merely supporting one another. That is their nature."

Robert Reich talks of how the billionaire class are ready to withdraw into their "isolated, sanitized survival chambers" at the onset of any catastrophe. They don't care at all about people and their plight.

A naked man sits on an alien, desolate planet. Text reads: "Under capitalism, food isn't produced to feed people, it's produced to make a profit. When it's not profitable to feed people, we let them starve. Even when our labor has conquered scarcity, capitalism must manufacture it in order to maximize profits."
"Under capitalism, food isn't produced to feed people, it's produced to make a profit.
When it's not profitable to feed people, we let them starve.
Even when our labor has conquered scarcity, capitalism must manufacture it in order to maximize profits."
PWP wants to add that scarcity never needed to be conquered. Tribal peoples knew/know how to use their surroundings as abundant supermarkets. PWP says that capitalism has created scarcity, for profit, power.
A photo of Noam Chomsky and his quote: "I don't know what word in the English language - I can't find one - applies to people who are willing to sacrifice the literal existence of organized human life so they can put a few more dollars into highly stuffed pockets. The word 'evil' doesn't begin to approach it."
