      Can’t wait to watch the “blue no matter who” and “I have a fixation on the genitals of trans folks” crowds duke it out again in a rigged election system.

    Let’s be honest, the average american isn’t saying rich people. They are saying “them” or “the deep state” or some other dogwhistle relating to jews. Or they’ll just find a term that abstracts the problem away from rich people.

      Also a problem in australia. It’s a big myth that without mining companies australia would basically be a developing country but in reality they pay no taxes and they don’t contribute to the economy at all.

      This is why those rich fucks want an internet ID for everyone. They want to know who is looking up how to DIY guillotines.
