something i see often (not on hexbear mashallah) is people accusing trump of being a “fake billionaire”, then creating this mythical “good billionaire” in their head. these people say all these rich pieces of shit we see flaunting their wealth are actually “fake rich people”
and that “REAL rich people” are humble, don’t buy overly luxurious brands, etc etc. and im not even sorry saying this but how fucking stupid do you have to be to believe that? yeah its actually fake rich people buying all the mansions and yachts and gucci and they’re the ones going to epstein island. real rich people live in modest houses and wear brandless clothes from a cheap department store.
people are so brainwashed to worship wealth that they cant put two and two together in their head that the majority of rich people are subhuman freaks who do nothing but exploit and enact violence against the rest of us so they make up these fake “good billionaires” that dont exist and act like those made up people are gonna save us from the orange man and from elon, who these same people were saying was one of the “good billionaires” less than 5 years ago
sorry to rant. but fuck these people.
I wish people/libs could see how self evidently different life in the ruling class is compared to the lives of most of humanity, and how that will clearly lead to radically different behaviors and ideals.
Even if you don't want to acknowledge the systems of exploitation that billionaires require to exist, you have to inherently understand that billionaires have different, inaccessible life experiences, they're incapable of understanding what most of humanity understands of day-to-day life, socialization, civic responsibility, etc.
If good billionaires did exist, their antisocial tendencies would make them less compatible with society than most violent criminals.
I'd say it's the opposite. Most media is about rich people, created by rich people, performed by rich people. Not billionaires, sure, but far from having much in common with the vast majority of the working people in the world. Yet to Western libs, that's the world they imagine they live in. It's the "success mindset" where all the media they see reinforces a specific vision of the world that's basically only inhabited by (at the very least) upper middle class successful people (and characters who are "working class" still live in huge houses and look neat, wear good clothes, etc). The issue for these libs is that when they look at the actually existing bourgeoisie and they don't match the whitewashed version from the media, they resolve the cognitive dissonance by saying that the fictional version is actually more real than the real one.
I think that just further highlights the disparity between media and the real world - imo a separate issue libs also struggle with. When you're raised on as much media content as a lot of westerners are, it leaves you alienated about what life is actually like.
I motion towards white collar workers gathering around the water cooler to discuss the latest shows, while blue collar workers like, actually hang out and drink after work. One of these groups is touching grass way more than the other.
