Yesterday we had some elderly people over for our bday and at some point we talked about billionaires and how they should not exist

Don't get me wrong, I think I know how reality works
It's not gonna change within a year or maybe 50..
But at some point people have to start and fight back
If we keep repeating "It's just how it is" shit will NEVER change
I refuse to accept shit as is, otherwise what's the point of everything
@stux it's more insidious. Some will not act in case of utter injustice/abuse. Some will even find excuses to call legal things illegal if "they don't agree". Such people are a danger at times.

I started about taxing the super rich and getting rid of loop holes but they kept repeating stuff like:
"It's just how it is, accept it" and "We can't do anything about it, it's just how it woks."
And it kinda triggered me a bit..
Why the F would you accept shit as is?!
These are the same people who allow fascists to take over and start another world war..
Sounds like they might be comfortable people and the suffering hasn't reached them yet, maybe?
People have to get fed up, out of patience. High empathy people can get fed up with the suffering of others. Low empathy people have to suffer directly, or see people just like themselves suffering, before they can get fed up.

@stux they sound like someone who understands how difficult it is to tax a powerful person with almost unlimited resources who can pay experts and workers to execute anything while they themselves sit on the beach un-bothered by any of it.

@stux
Maybe they feel powerless. Maybe they are lazy.
Hard to say.But yes, it's a very common phenomenon.

H. G. Wells got the Eloi and the Morlocks the wrong way round.

@stux boomers are addicted to convenience and adverse to change.

@stux Though i agree there's this: the older, the more wars experienced and the more war-weary.
Grew up during the cold war, had a glimpse, a moment of hope when the soviet enemy fell, lost that after during both Iraq wars, 9/11, Aleppo, Bucha, 7/10 and recently tRump and his maggats.
57, Seriously think i'm not going to make it to 60. Have hit the Hopium too often, it doesn't work any more.
