A Reddit post received a flurry of comments from users, with some agreeing that there's no difference whether you make "20k, or 200k a year," while others disagreed.

"If you're making $300k a year, you have more in common with someone making minimum wage than you do with Elon [Musk, the founder of Tesla and other corporations]. There are people that walk among us that have so much wealth, that even generations of mismanagement can't squander it. These folks you speak of are not those folks."

    If someone is making enough money to enjoy all the treats they want and if all their joy is derived from bourg treats they are going to do anything in their power to preserve those treats, only when they lose everything will they be potential comrades but more likely potential reactionaries. yes, technically, property ownership and passive income are markers of which class they belong to, but people living comfortably tend to be true believers simply because the system IS working for them and as such the most they will be willing to do is reform it, they will only want revolution once the system is no longer working for them. I live in a pretty "woke" place that happens to also be a place with lots of money bouncing around and everyone in my broad social circle who makes comfortable money is at best a "progressive" or radlib and thinks I'm crazy for my extreme beliefs.
