Yeah, I know, it's almost as if I think capitalism has got out of control and is causing problems, leading to things like a massive rise in xenophobia, a huge drop in birth rates, whole generations that can't afford to buy their own home and many other social problems.but you carry on defending the poor bullied billionaires and work on doffing that cap.
That's capitalism, stupid.Better than the alternative.

Let them fuck off.The top 1% by income pay 29% of all income tax. Some rich folks are giving plenty and not getting much gratitude it seems.The top 1% hold more wealth than 70% of Brits combined. They’re doing ok.I’d also wager, with some certainty, that the majority of the super wealthy aren’t anywhere near the top of the wage earners/tax payers list, due to minimisation strategies.

A way to divide/disorganise labour is to give the proles a different enemy: foreigners.“Your problems aren’t down to billionaires exploiting you, extracting surplus value, they're down to immigrants taking your job.”

We've seen a massive rise all across the world in far right populism and it's largely driven by angry men being told that the reason they have so many problems is because of forrins. Before that we had years of them trying to blame it on benefits cheats but that's a cow you can only milk until your target audience are all on benefits in some way.

I am sorry but what a load of shitI see the huge queues at job centres by the thousands of people arriving in the country illigally each month / year taking good honest British peoples jobs. They are not here to take peoples jobsI do see that they drain working people resources by putting as much back into society than they take. Unlike a lot of philanthropic billionaires who actually do put something back into the local areas they operate in.

How can you survive being this fucking dumb?
