People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

I mean that's basically just Western Europe+the U.S+Canada+a few of the wealthier nations in Asia

It's mostly just China and India.

I hate to point it out but the richest 10% includes most people in the west. Like if you’re reading this you’re probably in the richest 10%.

To be in the richest 10% of Americans you only have to be worth about $1.5 million. Which is most boomers and genxers with a house and a retirement.

Correct. I found these numbers for global wealth: "[...] it takes around USD 1.1 million in net worth to land in the global top 1%, around USD 175,000 for the top 10%, and around USD 8,700 for the top 50%." If you have about 9000 USD you are richer than half the planet. If you own even a moderate home, you're in the top 10%.

Bold of you to assume most people don't see that group as their enemy

As a Native American I resent being somebody’s enemy just because I happen to be born into a place where I my family was forced.

I mean it’s nice we have another paper for this. I’m sure it’s no surprise to anyone though.

Need to kill more rich people and the security that defend them is what I take away from that.
