Wake up at 4 am after 3 hours of sleep, have a rich daddy, and you too can be a billionaire parasite.

Gotta agree with you there my fellow lemmier. I really wish people would take action more. For example I had a project back in art class where I stapled 207 dildos into poster board into the shape of warren buffet. My teacher gave me an B- on it, but taking action, I increased the grade if I let her keep the project for herself. Still to this day dont know what she used the project for personally. But yeah, overall down with the rich, things are getting too expensive especially dildos
Yup.
But we're told Warren Buffet is the good kind.
He's one of the best billionaires. He wants to be taxed more for the betterment of all. Bill Gates does a lot of good with his foundation.
#BUT.
That's like referring to the "best" serial killer, and I mean that comparison. Billionaires shouldn't even exist, much less be admired and have outsized fame and influence. Every single one is a policy failure and every single one was formed from exploited workers (who actually contribute to society). Billionaires are parasites...
That's either not fair to serial killers, or highly complimentary to serial killers, considering the most "successful" serial killers in history can't hold a candle to a single healthcare insurance corporation, for example.
I'm sure some of them would have loved to be mentioned in the same breath as those who industrialized murder.
Or do you think most would be offended, since they were hipster, artisinal murderers who took pride in the craft of murder only to be outdone by high volume mass production?
Bill Gates Foundation does some good. His foundation is mostly a gigantic tax shelter though. For him, it's like an unlimited IRA. Society would be better if he simply had less money, less influence, and less control.
He's also one of the most highly associated with Epstein. His wife divorcing him after the Epstein records leaked.
He wants to be taxed more for the betterment of all.
That's why all the biggest and most well-financed lobbyist firms are advocating for a high marginal tax rate. That's why big think tanks have been churning out white papers and bombarding the airwaves with pro-tax policy. I can't turn on my AM radio without some paid shill telling me my taxes aren't high enough.
It's so bizarre that none of this has worked. I thought for sure billionaires had more influence than this. I guess Mr. Buffet is just a small bean me.
Yeah but he’s so obviously fucking not. I have yet to see one Id consider “one of the good kind.” Every time I see one with what seems to be redeeming qualities it always turns out to be at best an outright lie or at worst a cover for tax evasion or a cover up for some kind of horror that’s caused mass death.
He is!

There's an Indian parable about a rich man. Every time a beggar asks for money, he gives it, until he has no more to give and is himself a beggar.
You can't give it all up and expect to continue contributing.
The overwhelming majority of contribution in society comes from the working class.
Taking money and then giving it back is the bare fucking minimum a person can do. It's like taking the whole cake and then giving back a thin slice. Hardly commendable.
Every time a beggar asks for money, he gives it, until he has no more to give
Why would the rich man ever run out? Wealth isn't merely a pile of currency, it is a collection of wealth producing assets.
A man who collects $1000/day in rents will never have less than $1000/day to give to beggers.
The harder question to answer is why some of us pay others for the privilege of accessing public goods.
The system is working as intended.
If you don't like it.... Well, Luigi set an example there.
GL HF.
- Open the rich like tauntauns
- Live inside them
- Housing crisis solved
Surely completely unrelated statistics.
So who's going to have the balls for the job?
Not me. However there are 8 billion people in the world. I have my doubts that you can continue squeezing everyone as hard as you can without them eventually getting pissed and fight back.
The number of poor people in the world greatly out numbers these rich fucks. No amount of political posturing or technology will save them. You reap what you sow and what they have sowed is civil unrest.
It might not seem like it today, but judgement day is coming.
Not a meme.
Yeah, this is just pointing out the problem.
It is actually:
Meme - noun
- an idea that is passed from one member of society to another, not in the genes but often by people copying it
- Other cultures have similar versions of this meme.
- the political and cultural memes of the 21st century
- an image, a video, a piece of text, etc. that is passed very quickly from one internet user to another, often with slight changes that make it humorous
- an internet meme/a blog meme

It's a meme in the same sense that some SCPs are described as memetic. Being humorous is not a requirement, though it is often the intention.
By Dawknin’s original definition (cultural) memes are ideas, behaviors, styles, or practices that spread within a culture by imitation (Greek mimema, meaning “imitated”) and carry symbolic meaning. Some examples would be the “Keep Calm And Carry On” posters during WW2, the concept of the “American Dream” or toasting with glasses.
However in this context we’re talking about internet memes which is not synonymous with cultural memes. An internet meme is a picture or video that is funny, ironic, or relateable.
This is the natural result of decades of sustained exponential growth. At roughly 10%/yr, markets will double every 7-8 years. That's three doubling times in about 25 years, or 2^3 which is 8x. And that's how you get a house that was like $100k-$200k in the year 2000 to turn into a house for like $800k-$1.2m in 2024. It's only going to get worse.
Extreme wealth hoarding is an inherent end result of capitalism, which we could eliminate by capping wealth and channeling all excess income directly to public use. This would not be easy AT ALL because of the political opposition (which is mostly conditioning). But we won't do it, instead we will wait until the problem gets so bad it causes a revolt and then we'll blame the revolters.
This is the official regime policy. Looks everything is working great.
Infinite pie evangelists in shambles.
That money has to come from somewhere.
Hey, look! It's me! I'm a statistic now!
