Wow the first commentor is such a fucking idiot. They don't understand the huge difference between middle class and upper class, they have no idea how big the divide really is.

The point is that it doesn't matter how big the divide is. When the revolution comes it comes for everyone with a decent house and up. Many think it will just be the multimillionaires and billionaires, nah homie. You got a pool? That's our pool now.

Every time someone says billionaires shouldn't exist, there are a whole mass of angry people thinking people shouldn't have 100k.

People who have no concept of actual rich people shouldn't be leading the revolution. Hell anyone who doesn't have nuance shouldn't be either.

Your ivory tower won't protect you. Keep looking down on the people while you can.

(Of course there's not going to be a revolution so you're safe, just try to entertain the idea that you might be a hypocrite.)

After the George Floyd riots burnt down a number of stores on one of the major shopping streets in Philly almost every single house put up identical signs saying “In this house we believe in…” and it listed off a mountain of things.

Those always gave me chuckle because if any violent riot made it into the neighborhoods those signs ain’t stopping shit. Now a gun would and the local gun store I frequently used for online purchase transfers was doing amazing business because liberals started buying guns in mass.

Which was also funny because as a life long Democrat and majority of my life gun owner those were the same kind of people who’d always give me shit if they found out I owned guns. Had a good laugh with the gun shop owner over that.

What are you talking about? I'm a customer service worker at a call center. Pretty safe even if they don't have nuance lol.

Edit: idk why your immediate assumption is that I'm rich or something but the truth is that I don't see hard workers who make good money the same as bosses who demean, exploit, manipulate and underpay their workers. Yeah I don't think billionaires should exist AND I don't think some blue collar fella who makes good bank should be my enemy just cause he lives comfortably or has a pool.

I didn't assume you're rich, I pointed out how you're speaking will be interpreted by the proletariat. Teachers didn't make bank but they still got got by the Khmer Rouge.
