    "Fuck you, pay me" is not the same thing as billionaires burning the planet down to watch the high score rise.

      no billionaires are destructive and awful obviously their greed is out of control but also I don't know any billionaires I can't really conceptualise of them as anything more than people on tv

      I can understand the suffering that capitalism causes because I can see it. The rich people live out of town

        Without doxxing myself, I can say that I have been in the same room as billionaires during at least one social function. What I saw was what I got: they are paper-thin and skin-crawlingly insulated from the rest of us. We're toys to them.

          that's more or less what i expected

          I still hate bookies and landlords more but because I see their effects more directly

            The creepiest part was it was during a charity function. Someone bragging about charity couldn't hide their contempt for poor people. It was a flex, and nothing more.

              rich people engage in charity traditionally as a means of exercising control and getting a power thrill

              they're there to hear poor people beg for their life and occasionally helping is the cost of the show
