If rich people are concerned, then that's a good thing.

If rich people are complacent, it means we're getting f*ed.

We are not on the same side as them. They only have more because we have less.

For any man that has a dollar he didn't earn, another man earned a dollar that he doesn't have.

Maybe y'all rich people should think why the rhetoric is what it is, huh?

Although I'm sure many have done exactly that and come to the conclusion that it's the hoi polloi's fault

If I have learned anything from the corporate world, the higher you go, the less introspective you become.

Truth. Seems like having too much money completely kills a person's ability to self-reflect

CEOs, governments, media:

They aren't smart enough to figure it out. They are fucking stupid as fuck because when they were in college, instead of studying and learning, they just pay poor students to write shit for them. They don't know a fucking thing beyond how to make line go up.

And very often they can't even make line go up. Doesn't matter though, even if they get fired for incompetence they make millions, because other parasites like them will reward them for being a good parasite anyhow.

People being upset about the systemic murder of millions of people is more alarming than the murders themselves? Get your priorities straight, my dude.

What matters is nothing changes for them.

When their victims fight back it is alarming, otherwise it is just "business as usual". Fuck them all, I hope they all die as terrified as their victims.

Seriously - how are millions of people going bankrupt or being forced to die not alarming?

I feel like I'm on crazy pills with how out of touch the vast majority of coverage of this story is. I get that you can't champion violence officially - but this? Really?

I don't recall him making such a statement in response to the brazen fascist rhetoric of the past few months

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

Cry about it. Seriously, you might not have the chance to in the future. 🙃

No it isn't.
