"Wage slave master"?

It is long past time we got over our child-like worship of billionaires.

Indeed, there's nothing inherently exceptional in ~~billionaires~~ wealth hoarders, according to many studies of this phenomenon. They are literally just lucky enough that they managed to get their hands on such a ludicrous amount of money, they really aren't anything special.

I never understood people instantly behaving differently the second they smell money in a person. It gets uglier the more they smell. Noone with money will ever deal with them. Never ever.

It's epitome is this cult-like following or even worshipping of silly ass-clowns like musk.

I tried to look as poor as possible when i last dated. Golddiggers quickly leave then. I don't get the followers and i even less get the rich fucks boasting around so they can never trust anyone ever anymore. Great tactics 😁

I've become personally partial to "landleech".

Sometimes I use the term "psychopathic hoarder class" when referring to this group of people.

Parasitic wealth hoarder, If you're looking for something a little shorter, assholes works.

You guys should put in this much effort and hate to the government. Billionaires play very little role in my life, but the government is in every aspect, but for some reason we are focusing on them.

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The government is directly controlled by their individual billionaires.

[–] CableMonster@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I somewhat agree, but the influence on the government spans much more than billionaires. The powerful do control much of the government, but its also a bunch of assholes that abuse their power.

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They are paid to abuse that power, by the billionaires. The billionaires also pay them to keep folks fighting over any topic that keeps the people away from realizing what they are up to. Usually most of the more ridiculous claims from folks at outlets like Fox come right before billionaires cram themselves a tax break into an omnibus bill or repeal some fundamental human right or cut critical parts of your social services and supports.

I agree but its more than just the billionaires. For instance where I live there are no billionaires and the government is still the biggest thorn in my side.

For real lol just a nice diversion to distract everyone from the real problem.
