    Well yes, because rich people are clearly rich because they are fundamentally better people. The universe recognises this about them, which is why they’re rich. And thus for a rich person to enrich themselves further — well, that’s just justice.

    Poor people are at the bottom for a reason. To give them money would be disrupting the natural order of things.

    (This was sarcasm, in case it wasn’t clear. This is legit how they think though)

      I hate that we have to include this every single time, no matter how obvious 😂

        I don’t mind it so much. Every medium has its quirks, and I honestly find it beautiful to reckon with the affordances and constraints of different media. In a written format, for example, you can make puns that would be much harder to parse if they were spoken. However, when speaking, I don’t have to worry about spelling things correctly, and I am more free to vary the pace of my speech to enhance the rhetorical impact.

        It’s harder to make tone clear in written speech, and this is exacerbated by the culture of the internet. In some contexts, this is a bug, but in others, it’s a feature. I quite like that.
