    My usual PSA:

    Stop making things a generational conflict when it’s a class conflict in reality.

        It seems that the top 5% globally are above the limit. If you live in Western Europe or the US, that’s significantly more than half of the population.

        If you’re a European/American/Oceanian with a bank account in the black, you’re probably in the global 1% who use six times your share.

        Look, I’m not an ecofascist, but if I was, I’d be saying kill all white people. Instead, because I’m generally a nonviolent person, I’m saying slash the tires on white people’s cars. And anyone else who lives in a majority white country. These are places where most of the population are the global 1%.

          I think you’re forgetting how much 100 billion is. The top 1% globally starts at about 1 mil USD in savings, which if a recall, even the whitest Americans are far enough from. And here a handful of multibillionaires escape to let your reductive worldview ultimately contribute nothing to any semblance of progress and further their torching of our lives.

          Not only are you wrong, but you sound like a psycho with a very limited understanding of the world, no different than the uberwealthy perpetuating this.
