Billionaires (and their enablers) are to blame - for pretty much everything

Inspired by our hugely successful thread in this section for the The Humanitarian Crisis In Gaza 🇵🇸 let’s start this one to highlight the crisis that humans and our planet are facing because of billionaires and this horrible version of capitalism that is being forced on us.

As with all threads in this section, this thread may only contain posts in support of the thread topic, so:

  • Videos/memes/quotes/comments highlighting inequality and the downsides of greed or hoarding of wealth are welcome
  • Videos/memes/quotes/comments that are anti-billionaires/greed are welcome

See my post below for examples.

If you want to engage in a discussion or post in favour of greed, then please use one of the discussion threads (such as those in the cost-of-living-crisis or billionaires type threads).

This sums things up perfectly - the rich (and their enablers, i.e the media) stoking up trouble amongst everyday people to divert attention from the real problem, them!


Extremely well put by this fella:

Religion? Biggest manipulation tool used for centuries - even today people still hood-winked by it!

Are we all doomed? Maybe not - the French Revolution was one way to deal with the problem!

And here’s why they want to curtail free speech on the internet…

The rise of social media is imo also playing its part, false information and clickbait headlines get people riled up without any fact checking, the media is also stirring the fire, mostly owned by billionaires to promote their own agendas, we are seeing the rise of fascism indeed, it looks like we will have our own facist government in a few years, we are told to look down never up….

Well I think governments don’t control the way capitalism works.It’s the other way round and so politics is based on an illusion.Changing politicians every few years won’t make any difference because they can’t make it work for the majority of us. :grinning:

Would would a pastor think of billionaires? Watch this:

The dodgy aspects of Reform do not stop at Farage’s tax avoidance efforts. Or the clueless councilors banning contact with a newspaper. There is the whole issue of the funding of this party and the vested interests of the people giving reform significant sums. There many fossil fuel investors and supporters giving big money (what’s the Reform stance of renewables, net zero and more drilling?) There are crypto investors donating (what are the Reform plans for deregulating crypto?) There are donations from off-shore tax havens (what is the Reform plan for taxing non-doms?)
The billionaire bank rolling Reform are not doing it to benefit the ordinary folk in the UK.
