> people who act like renewables are "freeing" ... and the people who advocate nonstop for government management

Where did the person you are replying to even hint at that? I think this may be your own prejudice spilling out here.

> The billionares have their money in everything. They get a cut of everything. You're just changing who gets the cut.

Oh ok, I guess let's just accept this as is forever. Any attempt to try to improve this situation is futile and stupid (for example, as said, making it more difficult for them)

>What backs up all those decisions other than credible threat of violence?

I don't know, do you only act in fear of the threat of violence from the state? In democracies politicians are legitimized by their voters, what you are describing sounds more like an autocracy.
