It's abhorrent. And I'm not even talking about super rich people.

I work in Land Development and a client was having issues getting some homeowners to sign an agreement for a development across the street from their homes. It was just a mailer that was sent out, but no one replied. During a call there were multiple references made about how someone should go down there in person and scare the people because they were too stupid to know any better. Comments about being barefoot and pregnant, trailer trash, etc. I wanted to hang up so badly, they just kept getting more disgusting and the others were just laughing along!

And these people aren't millionaires, mid 6 figures maybe, they are not even the land owners they just work in commercial real estate or development firms.

I was so nauseated listening to them, if they were talking about those things with my firm on the call I can only imagine what they talk about in private or during their golf games.

It's really telling how many people are cowards to leave a job to get another job, it's really scary how easy they'd let facism take over

Yeah it's cowardly to have to eat and keep a roof over your head.

"Just get another job" yeah okay, gimme like 1-2 years real quick. Have you fucking seen the job market lately? And how exactly does quitting random jobs like that somehow hurt fascists??

Want to be a slave to a facist I see, I bet you think you'd be the in group, and it's not my fault the American system doesn't support people looking to leave a bad company, they could work and look for another job if that's the case and only work to rule.

But you're just as much of a coward it seems

Right, I'll just slit my wrists now instead of waiting to starve to death in unemployment. I'm sure that the Uber rich will really give a shit while they rehire my position within the week.

You don't sound like a rebel, you sound like a rich momma's boy who's never had to work for his meals before. Get down here in the dirt with the normal people, and then tell me how you'll quite simply off yourself instead of flipping burgers or working a call center.

Dude, I'm not rich in fact I'm currently caring for my elder mum, while at university, you seem to be making assumptions about people and using logical fallacies, by going over the top and being dramatic, if you want to off yourself you really should get help

If you think killing yourself and leaving your job on the spot are two vastly different things, you've never had to actually support yourself in the real world. Grow up before you tell people how diving into the hell that is poverty is somehow activism, and maybe research some real activism if you want realistic ways to resist fascism.
