An economic Uncle Ruckus. They train us from birth to see shame in not being wealthy, it sadly works. Some of our economy’s victims internalize their own dehumanization and see it as the natural order to report on their fellow inferiors to their betters.
The same people mourning BriBris loss by hilariously trying to shame everyone for not condemning his murder while conveniently ignoring all the people he murdered through policy, and whose policies murdered people yesterday, and will today, tomorrow…
The rich man provides us with meaningful work and purpose and we throw it back in his face by unionizing and wanting to take more of his money! We nasty poors must follow the rich man’s example and one day we may be as cultured and decent as he is.
Yeah, very well beaten… I was talking about Luigi at work today (EU person here) and when I said it is a young guy from a wealthy family, one dick stood up and said “oh, so it was just a spoiled kid?” And there’s probably much more people like this around me.
That’s just it though, the “passing glance” types that don’t pay much attention to anything at all will just assume the truth is whatever headline runs across their “feed of choice” the most often. Usually from large corporate outlets.
Pretty much. It’s a tired analogy, but the “unawakened” people in The Matrix come to mind. They’re not helping the cause, but it’s not right to declare that they’re evil or deserve hate like OP was suggesting.
They don’t know any better but that doesn’t mean they deserve ire. They’re reasonably reacting based on the information they have.
What kinda fuckass McDonald’s worker calls the cops on a folk hero? This is why we will continue to be curb stomped by the boot.
Somebody who needed $60k for medical expenses.
A well trained, well beaten dog.

Praise the rich man and his benevolent ways!

The difference between a wanted murderer and an unsung hero depends a lot on how much, and which, media a person consumes.
I like to assume the average person is apolitical and pays only a passing glance at headlines.
