most americans want to be rich and are jealous as hell they aren’t the rich, and if they got rich, they would be just as greedy and self-interested as they rich they claim to hate so much are.

I’ve seen pretty much all my 20s anarchist/communist friends become landlords who now argue that taxes and tenants are evil. they felt exploited and now they feel free to exploit… it’s almost as if it isn’t about fairness and more about bitterness and power.

people tend to become the things they hate.
