I undergo a sort of existential crisis when I see things like this. I'm hit with all kinds of different emotions and feelings when I'm forced to confront the fact that some of these rich fucks genuinely truly believe the propaganda they receive about socialists. Among them are rubes so truly poisoned by propaganda that they think they need to flee the city to escape impending socialist executions or some shit.

It's very difficult to accept that people with enormous wealth are this stupid. It makes me question reality in a way that's very difficult to describe. Their interpretation of the world is genuinely like an alien thing.

They are stupid, but I think reactions like this from the wealthy are mostly to signal dissatisfaction to policy makers

It's similar to when business owners complain that raising wages will force them to fire people. They're used to getting deregulation by bitching about government oversight.
