    Well, sad reality is a good percentage of 8 billion people are cheering. They dont understand it or are in so deep in whatever propaganda they believe in, have made they apathatic and or just defeatist.

      It’s the 0.1 percent being supported by the 1% who are a lucky day away from joining them, and the 9% who live pretty good lives as rewards for helping the 1%.

      Pyramid scheme all the way down

        I am talking about bottom ones who are working their ass off neck deep in debt. Who are not benefitting anything but still cheering them making there own pride in religion or straight up licking ass of likes of musk on social media. Personally ive been very demotivated (not defeated) as i try to explain the situation and dangers of insta to my school buddies only to meet with my brain exploding logics and ignorance.

        Yeah, I know people who are in the top 10% and they take pride in looking down on everyone else poorer than them.

        It’s a big reason why I don’t think the wealth cap and reclamation should stop at billionaires.

      ‘Cuz they all think they can win the lottery too. Or if someone sets up barriers to prevent wealth from being absurd that somehow the regular person doesn’t get any money or has to live in Soviet Block housing or something.
