Why are we resigned to there being a trillionaire in the future when it hasn't happened yet? There is time to stop it from happening. We can just kill them.
We're all to afraid and too fat to actually eat the rich and guillotine 'em. As long as we have social media to get out frustrations out, Colts football games to watch and Baja Blast to drink we aren't gonna do a goddamn thing.
I would hope the rising inequality after the pandemic would push people to care more but that's probably expecting too much.
It is. People are still buying shit they don't need at increasingly higher prices while simultaneously complaining online about it. And these corporations are just eating it up.
I had a person recently tell me I should buy whatever I want whenever I want like them because "money isn't real, and you should be happy now" I think it just pushed people into terrified little monsters desperately trying to get as much as they can as quickly as they can with none of us able to see past a week from now.
Everyone cares a lot, and yet not at all anymore. If everyone thinks everyone else isn't living enough I don't see any joint effort happening ever. We will just dwindle our numbers as everyone gets theirs until they don't.
