  • The rich do not think critically about the world around them. They have never had to fight for anything in their lives, all their success is just handed to them. They’ve never had to make hard decisions.

    This means that they have never had to be introspective or give any thought to how their actions affect those around them.

    They are simply disillusioned because their wealth puts a barrier between them and the harshness of life.

    So they do not recognize suffering when they see it, and when they do they blame the victim because they know that this couldn’t happen to them, and that means it doesn’t happen to anybody worthwhile.


  • This reminds me of when I kinda realized Fox News was pure evil because I saw them talking about how Obama was this crazy tyrant who was plotting to destroy the nation…

    And I just asked the guy on the TV “Wait, if he’s a Tyrant who doesn’t care about the Constitution hellbent on this evil, flaunting it as you say… Then why hasn’t he ordered your execution? Why are you on the number 1 rated News program talking about this in broad daylight in a high definition television that’s just sitting casually in the middle of this Hardee’s?”

    And then that’s when the lady behind the counter is like “Sir, this is a Wendy’s”

    and I’m like “I am a Ma’am, and this is a Hardee’s!”

    Went through the same thing, admittedly what got me out of it was realizing how often it came back to “And that’s why Hitler did nothing wrong!”

    Which made me go “That whole “genocide is good actually” thing… doesn’t really align with all this talk of how peace and love are being threatened by the forces of darkness…”

    I figured it was a few bad eggs who just somehow got the wrong message, but it kept happening

    All the people telling me I was on the George Soros payroll was kinda the very last straw, because how could I be the bad guy in this “conspiracy” and being so richly rewarded for it if I was struggling this much? And who the fuck was George Soros? I still to this day barely know who the fuck that even is.


  • I sincerely don’t understand how this is even possible. A lot of these people are old, do they not remember the 90’s? Trump being “Smug Rich Asshole: The Character” was his whole brand, and people loved him for it because we were still drinking that “Capitalism good” kool-aid left over from the cold war.

    How is this man with a literal solid gold toilet “The Voice of the People”

    This whole nonsense makes me perfectly understand how “War of the Worlds” was mistaken for a legitimate news broadcast.



  • Especially since they keep doing it to prove that “Oh anyone can be a millionaire, ya just gotta not be lazy.”, and despite each of them failing when they fail to prove this, they still proceed to learn nothing form this.

    If only I could show the world what rich people really think of the common man, but if thousands of films like “Joker” and “V For Vendetta” where that’s the sole point didn’t do it, then what the fuck else will?


  • It probably wasn’t staged sadly. Those privileged billionaires saw the struggling employees as the exception, not the rule.

    I know it wasn’t because there was an episode where an employee disillusioned with life and struggling with drug addiction was fired “As a favor to him”, and it was framed as being super wholesome, even though now that guy without any financial support and no way to get help will likely relapse harder than he ever has…

    1. I don’t work here. Stop trying to get me to do the job for free, either pay a cashier to check me out or fuck off.
    2. There’s an epidemic of these machines not working and then the shopper getting charged with shoplifting over it, Wal-Mart is the worst at doing this.

  • The guy who made it was a talentless egomaniac. He wanted to prove that he was a serious adult who could make serious adult stories, and instead of slowly transitioning into a more serious plot like say El Goonish Shiv or Concession or (not a webcomic, but No Evil)

    He just jumped into a miscarriage story and then when people didn’t like it… well the other “Super Adult Story” thing to do is kill off characters, so he killed everyone off and just focused on background characters…

    but again instead of slowly building up the background characters and bring them closer to the forefront… they were just… thrust into the front with no fanfare, no defined personality…

    So the already low-tier webcomic sank even lower.
