That’s like admitting they live in a completely different world. That’s what blows my mind. By implication, he’s admitting the wealthy exist in a completely separate reality. That the shadow economy is real, and that the average person is effectively a second-class citizen. It’s an acknowledgment that it is, and maybe always has been, us versus them. I’ve always said they exist in a completely different world, one that operates on different rules than the rest of us. More than just the obvious. Everything you posted, culture, norms, ancestry, history. They will never change to help you. They will always operate from a place of exploitation. It’s their culture. They made it so.
Comment on New York real estate titan likens the phrase ‘tax the rich’ to racial slurs

He views the Rich as a separate ethnic group.
from wiki:
An ethnicity or ethnic group is a group of humans who identify with each other on the basis of perceived shared attributes that distinguish them from other groups. Attributes that ethnicities believe to share include language, culture, common sets of ancestry, traditions, society, religion, history, or social treatment.
He’s mostly right, but that doesn’t invalidate criticisms of the Rich.

I met some people with this mindset of “i dont give a single fuk if it is not good for me”. They also tend to praise billionares and bad dictators. Makes me really curios how their brain works

Finally, a morally and ethically acceptable group to do ethnic cleansing on!

Arguably it is immoral to NOT cleanse them.
