Love a good shit post, lol. And it actually gets me thinking how something like 70% the world's wealth is held in the top 10% 🍽️ 🤤

Of course you need to make a monumental amount of money compared to the rest of the world, so we're willing to make that sacrifice! Just 10% of people in the world! 😂 I think it's $32k USD a year salary to be in the global top 10% of earners. And oh... $60k USD to be in the top 1%

So I'm kinda curious, OP, you on the menu?

Note this calculator is from 2019, so "deflate" accordingly

Ooh that’s cool.

I can save four lives per year for only 13k USD? Thats amazing. Thats actually slightly less than the cost of an average uncomplicated vaginal birth in the US.

Global wealth disparity will never be solved until we either achieve post-scarcity or a workable one-word government that’s not based on capitalism. There’s too much old word racism, colonialism, and natural resources aren’t equally divided. As a result there will always be global wealth inequality. We literally have to advance as a species.

Instead of subtly advocating for violence, maybe we should advocate for the election of persons who will make laws that will protect those who labor, as well as advocate for stronger unions.

I think the world has enough violence going on right now, that we don't need to advocate for more.

Edit: Just realized which community (ty 'no banana') I was posting my comment to.

So, never mind, I guess. /shrug

Community. Community is the word.

no long ago my country got into a plebiscite, the 1% richer only needed to introduce fear using lies and falacies to break it down (owners of the newspaper). They told people this: with the new text anyone could lost his houses, it will change the flag, the national anthem and a lot of nonsense that never was written on the new text. Now almost sure we're coming back to the old one. And yeah people tried to fight back the poison, but didn't work.

no long ago my country got into a plebiscite,

May I ask which country?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Chile, the long thin country of southamerica, (probably one of the "why didnt work")

that's not working out. time for a new plan... i'm not saying it has to be violence. and i'll keep voting. But it's getting to the point where just voting isn't enough cause they keep changing the rules.... again, doesn't have to be violence. But i'm just saying, i don't know what other option there is. Fuck the rich. I'm not gonna eat em, but i'll be happy to watch others do it.

All shitposting aside, honestly what's needed is for all of us 'peasants' to track the votes of each elected representative, via the Congress app or otherwise, and then network together via the Internet whenever any of them are running for office; to compare notes. Something like an NRA rating system for gun owners, etc.

Because when it comes down to it, a lot of time people are either lazy or don't have the time to properly investigate the people they're voting for, and end up voting on a whim or a feeling.

Because few break the conditioning imposed upon them to act. Those that do rarely are able to unite others.

I swear these repots do better than anything I can come up with. Which I guess says more about my creative ability than anything.

They're the secret to activity in between the new stuff

For the same reason that some foreign workers are able to immigrate to a country and are so successful they end up in the 0.1%

No no you see we need to constantly spam capitalism bad instead of doing anything else.
