That fucking realtor ghoul absolutely gushing over these overvalued ziggurats of excess as if this is just perfect and normal. 169,000,000 for a fucking unit? We need Minecraft and then a sequel

    The real estate guy played every card in the deck, I'm almost impressed.

    • He can't justify things in moral or even close utilitarian terms, so avoiding taxes is just something "intelligent people" do . The rich are rich just because they are intelligent.
    • We shouldn't decry capitalism, because seeking wealth is just a natural law of civilizations. This meaning that it's simply unavoidable and we shouldn't bother to try to stop it.
    • He even jumps into the old "It's the middle class that suffers the most" trope that they always use, because they're the ones that have to pay all the taxes while the rich and poor live off the work of the mistreated middle class. This makes the poor out to be parasites, that are at least as much, if not more to blame for inequality. Anyone that feels they are paying too much in taxes will then know that they must be this middle class, and that the poor are the reason why they have to pay so much in taxes and live paycheck to paycheck (not realising they are the poor by their country's standards, and that the only ones below them make so little they literally can't be taxed.)

    It's scary how the bourg factory just mass produces these people, and even when they are highly financially successful like this guy, they still have to sell the youtube "How to become a billionaire" channel spiel. At some point I have to wonder if they start believing their own bullshit. Maybe that's the only way they can live with themselves?
