    rich people go to great lengths to grow sociopathic replacements, is why class conscious traitors like luigi are so vilified

      From what I read about him, Luigi never really counted as rich anyway. He wasn’t exactly poor, but he was much closer to poverty than to becoming a billionaire.

        everything above working class is rich, trust me.

        nobody who is rich will ever truly know the feeling of how it feels to need to work to live, unless they seriously fuck up amd lose everything with zero support.

        that switch from survival mode chasing $ to being able to choose when/what you work on is indescribable

        least in the US, where there are practically zero support mechanisms in most of the country

          Someone who has maybe one or two million dollars doesn’t even come close to the power that a CEO or major stockholder of a big company wields. If you’re on that level, it’s pretty much impossible to become poor, which very much remains a possibility with 1-2 million.

          Middle class is a thing for a reason, and if you’re going to say that it doesn’t exist because only the owners of capital aren’t working class then the dude with 2 million is still working class.

            no, i’m saying that unless that 1-2 millionaire started from nothing, he does not know the experience of struggle and eventual relief that is escaping the labour trap
