    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

      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.

      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.
