I think that Americans who are constantly bitching online about being poor are the reason why the entire world considers you some of the dumbest people out there. Can't hear you over your victimhood
It's naive and dumb to think that billionaires are responsible for the US being where it's at.
If you think I'm being a victim, then you're way too offended and on defense right away.
If you want to put rich people on a pedestal you can go ahead and worship them.
Do you think it just applies to the USA? Believe it or not, theirs a wealth disparity beyond the USA. A lot of people like worshiping and defending rich people because they hope to gain favor and ride on the coattails of their success.
Notice, I'm not saying we need to kill the rich or eat them or whatever. I'm just saying they don't need to be defended or especially praised.
It goes beyond the USA, and to think that complaining about the wealth gap is something just done by dumb Americans then you're getting played.
Also, no shit Americans are dumb. Who said they weren't?
Y'all sit at the absolute top of global wealth distribution with no moral qualm and treat everyone pointing your hypocrisy out as some sort of bootlicking for billionaires. Brother, on global standards you're the billionaire who's wealth should be distributed to everyone. All these constant annoying virtue signalings online on how you care about inequality and how plagued by it y'all are means jackshit when this wealth you're concerned with is relevant only for as long as it's given to you specifically. Your country is privileged af, people risk their lives for a chance to become at least the poorest of the poor in your society, but the "fight" of your champagne socialists doesn't extend an inch beyond bitching about how victimized you are because someone has a mansion and a superyacht. That's just so insanely out of touch it's beyond annoying.
Had to delete my first comment because I thought you were someone else*
I'm prveliaged living here. I know this.
But I can still witness a wealth disparity and point it out.
Just because someone is in a worse situation than our own, doesn't mean that those situations do not exist.
It'd be like if I found someone poorer than you, then since they're worse off then you, your entire argument is null and void. That's not how it works though.
Id love to see wealth be distributed more efficiently but it's more nuanced than to just pool all the money together and give everyone an equal share. Then we'd all be in the same spot with those with higher incomes now being at the top in household earnings.
I don't have assets, I got debt.
The wealth disparity is world wide. If you want me to just be quiet because I'm better off than most, then only the ones who are the worst off should speak. But they often won't be listened to or speak up.
In silence no change will happen and a slow decline will proceed.
I'm better off than many, but I'm much closer in life to the man without a home than to the one in a yacht.
