You must be new around here. They will just make all the poor people hate and blame the slightly less poor. They will then convince those same people to vote for them so they can fix what the slightly less poor people made them do

Your not good with history, if you were, you’d know the world you know today has never existed on earth ever, covering up the truth in the age of information yes fools will always like a smile and kind worlds but everyone else won’t have it

No need to cover up the truth, just throw a bunch of shit around it to make it difficult to tell truth from fiction. Consider that Tucker Carlson is one of (if not the) most popular propaganda outlets in the world and is still considered as (opinion) news and not mainstream.

I think you give people too much credit.

Have you looked around? The second I mention that rich people suck I have every Republican and conservative from western countries down my throat. They’ve won

As long as there’s fight left, no one has won.

They have won though. As long as money and capitalism rule, tackling climate change will never be even remotely successful.

Bruh. You're on the internet. You probably don't have to worry about food. You ARE the rich.

We all will have to worry about food. Most food comes from outside the country.

I'm not saying nobody needs to worry about food, I'm saying if you live in a first world country, you already are the rich. There's just a broader perspective to consider.

Imagine some destitute village somewhere getting flooded or enduring some famine. They know it's places like the US, Europe, and Asia to blame for all this. We ARE the rich. Yeah there are richer people among us, but I eat meat, drive a car, and shower every day. That's the lifestyle we're living that's gotten us here. We're the perpetrators as much as the victims, right?

I don't blame the rich. I blame those unwilling to change. I see that demographic just as well represented across the rich and the poor. Everybody likes to point fingers, but we're all in this together.

Sure, and the west as a whole. Billionaires and consumerism go together. We love to abdicate our responsibility by pointing at a few other people

Extreme wealth didn't exist prior to consumer capitalism, right? All through humanities sordid history of thousands of years of monarchies all the wealth was evenly distributed and power was shared.

Th ats not my point. My point is that even back in the day we didn't consume that much of the world's resources. Now the average person consumes significantly more. We can't dodge our own responsibility.
