1% Gained 82% of 2017 Wealth Created

The French Monarchy telling peasants to eat cake was considerably more dangerous than the leaders of the Western world telling their deranged complainers to wipe the icing off their fingers when they’re tweeting about how bad they’ve got it on their smartphone.


Tired of this oppression. ‘Bout to set this revolution off!

It’s all fun and games until your currency collapses.

SIFCLF

Yeah, just silly talk. 3% a month should work out fine.

[Smitty-48]

Yeah, there are over 2,000 billionaires now, and all the money and income increases go to the 1%, but we’ve got cellphones and running water, and you can be reasonably sure that most people can afford housing, so what’s there to complain about? We’re fabulously wealthy compared to Neanderthals.

Billionaires are not the 1%.

Globally, the 1% is net worth $770,000.

In the USA, the 1% is net worth $8.4 million.

If you're calculating globally, the 1% are in the American middle class.

If you're calculating in the USA only, the 1% are business owners below the median $10 million average.

Is that really people to complain about?

Only if you're a communist, or a nonsensical panic monkey, or both.

Well, when retirement is expected at minimum to cost around $500k per person, and only the top 1-2% of us have it... yeah, that's a problem.

We've just undertaken a quantum leap in human productivity and industry, and all of it has gone to a select few. That is not a sustainable system. Lampposts and guillotines are coming.

Why? There never used to be retirement in the USA, retirement is a relatively recent perk, there were never any lampposts and guillotines in America before, that's a European paradigm, doesn't work that way in America, but even so, if anybody is going to end up hanging from the lampposts in America, it's going to be the commies not the cowboys, bet dat.

If a revolution comes to America again, it's going to be the right wing nutjobs who are revolting against liberalism, and it's going to be the libby wibby lefty wefties who get gored by that bull, don't kid yourself.

[Smitty-48]

This is why the left is always bluffing with this shit, if they tip the apple cart, we will kill them all, men, women, children, old people, they're all going out the helicopter into the gas chambers, come the revolution, they know it, we know it, so there's no point in big talking about it, lefties, go ahead and make our day, but if you're being real about it, you know you ain't gonna wreck yourselves like that, you know that you are all bourgeois panty waists, and you know what we on the right are capable of, if you ever want to remove the safeties from this game.

Go ahead, there's the cart, push it over, see what happens, we fuckin' dare you, let's see what you got faux commies, take it there if want, knock yourselves out, you'll be in the unmarked grave next to Che Guevara, faster than you can say "please, please, don't kill me, I'm sorry I ever took it here!"

Guillotines indeed, you are the chubby wubby Bourbons, we are the hungry Jacobins, don't delude yourselves, the only order to be overthown here, is your order, not ours.

I'd have some respect for the left, if they actually had the stones to back up their faux commie talk, I'd still chop their heads off with an entrenching tool, but I'd have some respect for them as I did.

Who on the right, is not prepared to string these Evergreen College lefties up with the proverbial piano wire, if they ever step across the safe line into the breach? Got a chubb dog just thinking about it, please do, Parliamentary Supremacy is the only thing standing between Evergreen College and the wrath of Hitlerville, don't test us, Bourbonite Hipster Faggots, we're the meat eating apex predators, don't get yourselves on the menu.

[Hanarchy Montanarchy]

Anyone on the right here want to endorse Smitty's "order is maintained through threat of violence against left" theory?

As a leftist, I think he is, basically, 100% correct.

[Smitty-48]

Just being real yo, it's not like I'm the one calling for Parliamentary Supremacy to be overthrown, quite the opposite, but if the lefty wefties insist on settling this in the alley, we can grind them into a paste and spread them on crackers like Soylent Green Chevara, whatevs, take it there at your own peril, this is your liberal order, since 1918, you want to blow yourselves up, so be it, just don't come crying after, when Smitty Pinochet is upon you.

Yeah. Or something.

You seem to be confusing social misfits with a general uprising, against the aristocracy.

[Smitty-48]

Yeah. Or something.

Bring it, tip that cart, Faux Guevaras, see what happens, you've been warned appropriately, the ball's in your court, it's the liberal order to be overthrown here, so make your moves, blow liberalism up, take it to the alley, and see who ends up hanging from the lammposts then, I'm game if you are, fetch the rope.

You think you're tougher than the Chilean trade unionists? Bet you you ain't, Smitty Pinochet calling that bluff, do it, faggots, warm the cockles of my coal black heart.
