When the one percent starts to feel paranoid, Clay Cockrell is the first to hear about it. A therapist who specializes in treating the neuroses of the ultrawealthy, Cockrell says that many of his clients are in the privileged position of getting freaked out by eat-the-rich sentiments these days.
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…
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.
Wow, shitting on their entire way of life. If tbey werent “greedy pieces of shit” they wouldn’t even be rich!
Maybe you should have some fucking empathy. And also let them harvest your organs so they can have extras.
Look, who are we to tread on these special people’s right to tread on billions of us? They’re just living their lives the only way they know how, y’all. They’re just like us!
Exactly! Egalitarianism is genocide!
They could do something about this, and yet they choose to continue hoarding that money.
Okay but, no, see, because stepping on the necks of peasants is their culture.
Maybe you could try fucking respecting another persons culture for once?
They have to keep hoarding more money to defend against everyone who doesn’t like them for hoarding all that money!
Utterly powerless to avoid these problems…so sad for them.
EAT THE RICH
Yea I’m not gonna feel bad for them
Fuck rich people
rich people
No such thing.
Jah know they’re bankrupt in all the ways that matter ❤️💛💚
Boo fucking hoo
Having too much money is literally the easiest problem in the world to solve.
They’re evil, selfish cunts though
They don’t even realise!
It’s all from a place of selfishness for them I’m sure so there won’t be any meaningful change as a result of their fear. They deserve to feel this way but I wish it would lead to a positive outcome but they are shameless wretches so they’ll respond as we expect shameless wretches to
won’t be meaningful change as a result
No, they just arent afraid enough yet.
Just FYI,
1% of US citizens have $10 million or more.
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.
Lol, yeah, peasants whose fortunes are locked in a single currency with no solid assets, they’ll be so much more exploitable then.
Make billionaires millionaires again.
Hey. No.
Make millionaires thousandaires again.
Well if all that money and resources are making you uncomfortable, I am willing to take them off your hands…
Emphasis on take.
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.
When it boils over, the lesson it will teach society will be bloody and painful.
I doubt the lesson will be learned well.
It is never learned, not because people are dumb and can’t remember, but new people take the places of both sides.
The problem I have, is that some people DO learn the lessons, even from the books and stories left over from before. It’s just that the new people don’t care to learn anything.
It’s so disheartening.
Class politics is a learned generational institution. If I look at history I can see that technological disruption, and loss of social cohesion can dampen this.
Today in some countries, like the USA, we have a minimum of both teachers and examples that show such things are worthwhile. We have lost institutional knowledge about how to form unions, strike or protest.
This goes beyond the workplace.
Knowledge of how local municipal politics work and what is democracy is lacking. If one looks at how people vote, one sees a complete lack of awareness of vote counting or exit polls in the USA, replaced by a childish faith in some imaginary fair system that blindly picks the winners. Many great grandparents would scorn this. But there is nobody to tell the current people differently
Remember when Bruce Wayne was a millionaire?
And then a multimillionaire?
And then a billionaire?
Good, fuck all y’all, I’ll see you in hell tomorrow if I can.
