"Oh, we're powerless because we're *poor*" - a non-priest has no means of getting people to do what he wants without money because his only option is to pay people. A progressive priest gets people to do what he wants very effectively *without* needing to pay them.

You use the prestige press as an example - how much would it cost a billionaire to get Scott Alexander to take down his blog? Millions? A guy who works at NYT did it and got paid for it.
