they’re genuinely trying to downplay what they have. It’s not just quiet — it’s silent. In an era of rising economic tension and class rage, a rich person’s privacy has become the ultimate commodity. They don’t want to be seen at the Chanel store.

For a long time here in the US, inequality has been treated as no big deal. "Oh, inequality is growing?," said the business leaders and economists, "Why should we care?"

This is why.

They could always downsize their lives to be less exploitative and still live a life of leisure if they are that afraid for their safety, or better yet use their wealth to influence policies beneficial to the large majority of humans but they wont do either of those.

They just want to keep living the exact same way without consequences.

Good, fuck all y’all, I’ll see you in hell tomorrow if I can.

There's quite a bit they can do to stop those sentiments if they truly are afraid of eat-the-rich rhetoric.

In the immortal words of Good Charlotte:

They’re always complaining, always complaining. If money is such a problem, well they got mansions, think we should rob them.

Though ironically the Madden brothers ended up marrying rich.

So funny to be in therapy telling your friend-for-hire that you are anxious and uncertain about what to do, because the idea of living modestly and giving to the needy is not even worthy of consideration to them.

Even weirder to not be rich right now. Fuck them. They should feel it, greedy pigs.

i have a foolproof strategy to protect them. they should just broaden the target base by immersing themselves among other rich people.

and the most effective method would be making everybody else equally rich. bam. you're now only one potential target among eight billion.

my ted talk will be aired soon.

Make billionaires millionaires again.

Well if all that money and resources are making you uncomfortable, I am willing to take them off your hands...

Having too much money is literally the easiest problem in the world to solve.

They could do something about this, and yet they choose to continue hoarding that money.

Article mentions "multimillionaire." That's not ultra rich. We gotta keep going y'all until billionaires starts making such comments.

I am glad they are afraid, they should be but I also know what that means for us unfortunately

Just FYI,

1% of US citizens have $10 million or more.

They should be afraid. They should feel fear.

It’s not like there’s a history of killing them to make a new status quo! Maybe they shouldn’t be greedy pieces of shit and fucking over everyone else? Leeches.

Have him pass along this message to those poor scared 1%ers

Good. How's it feel to have others control your destiny? How's it feel to be scared? They love doing it to us...

They could always fix this by sharing the wealth

Fear

Yea I'm not gonna feel bad for them

Fuck rich people

EAT THE RICH

... interact with people in a way that’s meaningful.

That's it. That's all you gotta do, you miserable little fuckers. Don't dedicate your life to making people sick and miserable, but rather spend it trying to enrich others (and yourself, as a side effect). Enjoy your days free of common worries and just exist alongside others from all walks of life. If you treat all people with dignity and respect, nobody's gonna line up to burn you at the stake. Well, except the fascists, but we just ignore them except for when they need to get punched.

I can't say I feel bad for them. I'm sure they have problems. But rich people problems always seem so petty when you compared them to the problems faced by people who are 24-7 stressed about whether their paycheck will cover their bills, or whether they are going to have a job if they say the wrong thing to their boss or a senior staff member. The trials that plague most of society are much more stressful than rich people problems. Just look at life expectations and you can see it. If some rich person wants to prove me wrong I will gladly let them switch places with me for a year and we can compare. Maybe I will learn something. And maybe they will understand the frame of their problems better..

Good news though, Trump is absolutely destroying the dollar so soon we'll all need wheelbarrows to carry around our worthless piles of US dollars.

Boo fucking hoo
