    In 20 years, while still sitting on a mountain of money… All rich people are evil. The sooner people realize this, the better.

      I would hazard a guess that you live in a first world country, and therefore would be considered rich by those who do not. Therefore, by your own definition, you are evil.

        I earn like 30% more than the median income here. Colonisation is the cause of wealth disparity and it’s disguisting but you can’t compare normal people with a dude who have more money than entire countries. It’s dishonest as fuck

            In absolute number only. You might have an idealized view of the first world. My wife she’s tunisian. She’s telling me about those pink glasses report on tunisian TV on how Europe is so easy and rich and anybody can just move here and get a 100 grands loan from the bank. She’s always shocked when i tell her we’re out of money by the 15th of the Month. We are struggling. Money is causing me constant anxiety.

            I have a flat and sometime i even manage to buy grosseries to the end of the month. I’ve been trying to buy a bike for months but i can’t save 100 euros

            Not to diminish what you’re going through but cost of living matters. So don’t compare me to a fucking billionaire, it might be better than in Africa but the working class is still oppressed here
