Scrolling through the all feed and saw this post and genuinely cannot tell of this is satire or not.
That's a waste of perfectly nutritious millionaires.

If only they would...
How can you tell that they are a boomer at heart?
They talk about millionaires as the rich.
No this sheer audacity and appropriation... On point after Karens took over BLM.
Millionaires can stay. I'm more angry about the billionaires and the soon to be trillionaires.
Nobody gets to be a millionaire without exploiting people.
Depends on what you mean by millionaire, in liquid capital? Sure probably some exploitation depending on factors. In net worth? Pretty sure my grandmother is a millionaire from our home alone.
thats actually hundred millionaires to billionaires they exploit people. MIllionares often do have to "work thier way up" most of the time. people who are born which rich, or upper middle class dont work thier way up, and they are usually much wealthier than 10million+, and usually dont stay millionaires if you already born into upper middle class(richer than 1mil+)
Becoming a millionaire is not as hard anymore. And it's definitely not necessary to exploit anyone. You can work hard enough to justify it all though you'll need to be good at something or build/Create something alot of people want to buy.
Billionaires, should not be tolerated.
Some jobs do pay like that though, but that's the lower-end of the millionaire bracket.
Bitch even if we came for the millionaires, that would hardly be the “first” group anyone came for. Y’all been coming for the women, gays, Latinos, atheists, Arabs and trans folk as long as can I can fuckin remember.
well, the white women majority back Trump so there is that
Half of them do it because they are in captive marriages with a Trumper.
The famous "women can't do wrong, because of patriarchy" card. That's a good one
they would want to marry someone like trump too.
And then what? They're coming for your low middle class ass? They already have you! You're drowning in debt with diabetes from the HFCS they refuse to outlaw and the healthcare you can't afford praising a serial rapist that just made gas prices sky rocket by bombing a country so your stupid ass will forget about the evidence that proves he's a habitual sex predator.
Millionaires aren't really the problem, billionaires are.
Billionaires also aren't the problem. They are the symptom.
The problem is the system of economics and politics, by extension the various institutions they manifest, that allows individuals to become billionaires through the exploitation of other people's labor via private ownership over the means of production that should rightfully belong to the people through collective ownership.
I feel this is not stressed enough.
The guy owning the local car dealership that has a nice yacht and a holiday appartment in Mallorca is not actually even remotly the same kind of problem like jeff bezos or elon musk.
Sure, noone needs a yacht, but the irder of magnitude is not even remotely comparable.
Owning-class is owning-class. Regardless of the magnitude, they are still exploitative and that is the point.
Individuals aren't the problem, the system that allows individuals to have exploitative and unjust power over others is.
Am million dollars isn't yacht money, though. It would take several millions to actually get close.
1 million isn't even enough for a comfortable retirement these days.
A "millionaire" doesn't mean much compared to three decades ago.
Seriously. The difference between someone with 2 million dollars and 800 million dollars is about 800 million dollars
Yep. A million dollars is much closer to 0 dollars than it is to a billion dollars. An even bigger problem is the ultra billionaires.
Aside from that simplistic argument, billionaires are much much more parasitic to society than millionaires are.
First they came for the millionaires and distributed their wealth equally and I said nothing because I wasn't a millionaire.
Then they came for the abled bodies and made public spaces as inclusive as possible and I said nothing because I didn't notice.
Then they came for cis men and abolished the nuclear family and I said nothing because I'm not married so I didn't care.
And when they smashed white supremacy, there was no one left to defend me.
Is “abolishing the nuclear family” actually in the program here? WTF
You are a poet. Well said
No no, I agree we should start with the billionaires or possible trillionaires by time we actually do something.
Pretty sure this is about the millionaires tax in Washington State, the first income tax passed in the state ever. The big argument against it is that it'll set the precedence of an income tax being legal by the state constitution, and then they'll start lowering the minimum income to tax everyone. Oh no, a progressive tax system!
Haven't been following WA super closely, but this is exactly why wealth tax is cooler than income
I live in a TX. I find it sad there are so many people who are closer to broke than they ever will be to being a millionaire
Except the "They" who comes for people is the millionaires.
Well the headline is satire. The sign likely not. It shows how crazy people are that you don't know anymore
First they came for the millionaires and I laughed and laughed and laughed
From the subs pinned post: „As a friendly reminder, this comm is for the satirizing of conservatives only
Memes, comics, onion-type articles etc making fun of conservatives is what's accepted here
Serious articles, discussions, information, infographics etc please post to !conservative@sh.itjust.works where the wonderful @SatansMaggotyCumFart@sh.itjust.works tries to moderate actually fair conservative debates
If you want the conservative space for conservatives to spout their bigotry, Nazism, xenophobia etc etc please see !Conservatives@hilariouschaos.com or the HilariousChaos instance in general, "The Friendlier ExplodingHeads Instance" ™
I'll also be updating the display name to make it more clear when searching for a comm in the new post screen“
I’m a liberal, but booting out conservatives is pretty weak. That sounds like what they do over in the conservative instances.
you dont sound like one at all.
That sounds like the whining conservatives do when we refuse to entertain their hateful bullshit
they can go on reddit, where they get free reign, and only get mildy punished. moderation is heavier handed against comments that implies"things against conservative" rather than the other way around.
That's kind of the point of instances. Everyone got sick of the kind of shit they were posting so they moved to an instance that allows bigotry.
The paradox of tolerance is not a thing here.
It still makes me giggle sometimes that "truth social" is just a mastodon instance no one federates with
Oh please, please let's do that. That would legitimately be fantastic. Not just millionaires though, because enough of them could've just worked hard to get there. Once you get to the like hundreds of millions or billions, then those people don't deserve it.
Yeah it's crazy how inflation is like that.
There are plenty of just regular day-to-day people that are technically millionaires. But like, it's all invested and or it's their retirement account and they're 50 and it has to last them the rest of their life and they aren't globetrotting on a mega yacht.
Inflation is the one reason I have a tiiiiiiiny corner of my mind saying "they might have a point". Pegging laws to a dollar amount that makes sense today doesn't mean that dollar amount will continue to make sense in the future.
Tie it to some multiple of the poverty line or median cost of living, then we're getting somewhere.
Oh yeah of course it needs to be tied to some relative measurement like median COL like you said.
If only
