Let me just get out my worlds tiniest violin for these exploitative hoarding motherfuckers.

It's either that, or the guillotine..

Or they could, you know, just give up their wealth if their suffering is so great?
Nah?
Didn't think so.. 🙄

Yeah, it's hard to feel bad for people who are "too rich" when it's literally the easiest problem in the world to solve. Pick up a phone, dial any random number and say, "Hey, come over and pick up all my money."

Heck, they're usually fighting off swarms of people every day that are trying to just that. Let them take it.

Exactly..

Victimhood is like an accessory to them, put it on when they need a little pity party, or to socialise some financial losses, but quickly take it off again the rest of the time and be free to enjoy their vast privilege.
Which is how they think actual oppression works, which explains shit like the idea of a "race card" and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps - they've genuinely convinced themselves that since their problems are mostly superficial and easily resolved (or buy your way out of), so are everyone else's.
