I might be a bit too socialist, but I think that’s the ideal. We should strive to elevate the worst off among us and that should be a cornerstone of modern society.
Kind of feel like we’re failing until we get to the point where we can’t tell who the bottom 10% is. It’s almost the same concept as “No One is Free until we are all Free”.
I remember an old BBC show. Aristocratic woman tells a Socialist that she hates Socialism because it wants to destroy everything that’s first class. He tells her that he wants to get rid of everything that’s third class.
The problem is if you eliminate the lower class you also destroy the upper ones. Wait that’s not a problem. Never mind.
I love you.
Love you too buddy.
I'm ok with there being some amount of wealth disparity, but nothing even close to like homeless vs. owns a yacht with a helipad. But before it's ok to have moderate wealth disparity we have to first meet the basic needs of all people including healthy and comfortable food, water, sanitation, housing, and healthcare.
hug
…I just wanted to hug me. But I can’t hug me, because I only have 1 body, and I’m currently occuping my own body.
So I hugged you, because you sound like me, and thats close enough.
Ok, now help me get out of MY body, and into the body of a 3,000 foot tall metalic robot godzilla creature that can spit flames!
What? I think that would be really cool. Just spitting flames in the air. Roaring like a badass! I’M A MOTHA FUCKIN T-REX!!!
You sonuva bitch, I’m in.
That’s just rich people on the left, a billionaire is seriously something way more (depressing), and those with 2, 8, 15 billions are IMO mentally ill, for those needing even more … We need a new word for how ill they are.
Illionaire
It’s not reasonably possible to own the stuff on the left without being a billionaire. All of that would cost hundreds of millions.
Well, that 10% will be a bigger problem when the pitchforks finally come out.
Avery seems like the type of person who complains about libraries existing and feeding the homeless?
Avery sounts like a cunt.
That’s what I’m hearing.
Her account is probably out of an Indian Datacenter owned by musk
This is P R O P A G A N D A.
Owner of a website either handpicks or creates messages that fit their narrative. But “it’s twitter” so it has to be voices of random people representing what they are thinking right?
And yet the 1% are pretty sure they can just violence us all into submission.
Historically, that has not gone so well for them.
I mean, it has. The history of liberalism is the history of the 1% violencing the bottom 50% into submission.
Do people like that hear themselves when they speak? Do they see the words they write?
Are they living in the same planet? I mean, how can you have such warped views of the world?
Fuck the 1%, ban millionaires
We need hard caps on personal ney Worth. Any income over a networth of 1 million should go 100% to taxes until you’re worth less again. There is no right to having and hoarding more than that. You don’t need more than that.
You don't need more than that.
Counterpoint: Homes in many places cost more than that. Retirement too. There's a good cutoff for a wealth maximum, but 1 million ain't it.
I’ve never heard of this check mark. I assume she’s 15 Indians or Chinese people behind a keyboard
Most folks don’t even have a problem with the top 1 percent other than thinking they need to be taxed. It’s an much smaller fraction than 1 in 100 that are the real exploiters. Thinking that 1 in 10 of the people you meet are subhumans is certainly the essence of conservativism though.
Holy shit what an idiot. Imagine actually believing that poor people are the problem. Everyone with that belief should be forced to live together on an island so we could watch their lives fall to pieces without poor people to take advantage and steal from.
How are any of us a problem for Melon Husk? Fuckface is so rich that he can do literally whatever he wants.
The bum on the rods is hunted down as an enemy of mankind
The other is driven around to his club, is feted, wined and dined
And they who curse the bum on the rods as the essence of all that’s bad
Will greet the other with a willing smile and extend a hand so glad
The bum on the rods is a social flea who gets an occassional bite
The bum on the plush is a social leech, bloodsucking day and night
The bum on the rods is a load so light that his weight we scarcely feel
But it takes the labour of dozens of folks to furnish the other a meal
As long as we sanction the bum on the plush the other will always be there
But rid ourselves of the bum on the plush and the other will dissappear
Then make an intelligent organised kick get rid of the weights that crush
Dont worry about the bum on the rods get rid of the bum on the plush

He thinks we are a problem. We had better prove him right.

I think I would actually be scared of what a brave little hitatchi wand does to musk to make him accept others.
Like…what is it doing to him that makes him reevaluate his whole world outlook???
tja@sh.itjust.works 3 days ago
No, you have to see it from his point:
He clearly is not the problem. So other people have to be the problem. Other people are poor(er). Poor people are the problem.

No, I don’t think I do…

It’s really telling that he has so much money that he can do pretty much whatever he wants for the rest of his life, and he chooses to publicly shit on the poorest people in the world.
Like, he could alternatively choose to say nothing, and just quietly ruin everything behind the scenes while impregnating as many women as he is capable of, but that doesn’t work for him.
