    Imagine having a personality disorder, basically. Wealth inequality is bad for the wealthy, too. It either turns them into freaks or it enables their inherent freakishness. Either way, they need their wealth to be redistributed and they personally to be reduced to the median level of wealth for everyone’s, including their own, benefit.

    How do you think they got there?

    So it’s not like they one day wake up and start squeezing the poor, it’s that it’s what they did yesterday, and the day before that, all the way since they became adults. It’s what they know and where their self worth is at. Kind of sad I guess.

    All they have is the bank account number. No real friends. Family hates them but loves the lifestyle.

    Dragon under the mountain man. Gather wealth and just sleep in it. Doesn’t matter who gets hurt in the process.

    Every day these people wake up and choose to exploit others to become even richer instead of building houses or paying off medical debt or whatever is a day that they choose evil.

    They bought the ability to play god, and that’s all that matters to them. It’s not about being “good” or “evil”, that’s for us poors to worry about. It’s about being able to wield power over us and have nobody stop them, our lives at the mercy of their whim. Small tyrants ruling over a broken kingdom.

      And yet we still stay in the sandbox they’ve created, doing our little debt-filled lives, hoping our credit score goes up so we can borrow more.

      Modern life is a prison.

      It’s true. Whatever gives them more power is all that’s of concern. then you have millions of people in earnest claiming these are Christians under attack for being Christians. This is the stupidest timeline.

    When you are rich enough, your wallet just becomes your highscore, and when that happens you can’t really accept a lower highscore place…

    I can’t. For me, it’s as impossible as “you see a tortoise on its back; you don’t help it.” Of course I help it.

    I’d pity them! ~And wished them to be stopped and punished nevertheless.~
