    Did she post this because she really is that tone-deaf or is she intentionally trying to flex on the poors who are suffering in lockdown?

    Probably my favorite Kim Kardashian moment was her realizing a few years ago that systematic racism exists. You mean to tell me after all these years of you dating black men and being married to one, you are just now realizing that they suffer from systematic racism? Ok.

      To be fair, she would have been dating wealthy black men who are able to avoid a lot of the systemic racism that ordinary black people face on account of not being rich and famous . Still pretty cringe though

    I simply refuse to believe that the rich are somehow different from the rest of us, we're all just people y'know? We all have the same problems.

    Thinking about the workers' retreats in the Soviet Union and how they were privatized and how we could do that in reverse if we wanted to.

      Man, I used to love those as a kid. A lot of Russians used to go to the Belorussian ones not long ago, until the costs were upped for foreigners.

    But the Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious. When his dominions were half depopulated, he summoned to his presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of his court, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of his castellated abbeys. This was an extensive and magnificent structure, the creation of the prince’s own eccentric yet august taste. A strong and lofty wall girdled it in. This wall had gates of iron. The courtiers, having entered, brought furnaces and massy hammers and welded the bolts. They resolved to leave means neither of ingress nor egress to the sudden impulses of despair or of frenzy from within. The abbey was amply provisioned. With such precautions the courtiers might bid defiance to ontagion. The external world could take care of itself. In the meantime it was folly to grieve, or to think.

    Notice how there's no characterization of the people she's talking about just "inner circle" ie "people who exist to enable my vanity".

    Mad props to Scott Dissick who seems to be running some kind of tax avoidance scam on shipping exotic sports cars to oligarchs.
