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.

I believe the propaganda here is idea that some people are born special, brighter than every one else.

The message here is not that Bezos wants a trillion humans, the message is that the majority of people are not special and will never archive greatness (like him)

Rich people love to think they belong to this special group but it’s not real, all humans have the capacity to archive greatness if only given the resources to not only survive but thrive.

If everyone had acces to free and quality education, healthcare and food we could have more than a thousand Einsteins and Mozarts right now.

Once everyone is able to archive greatness, it becomes the norm, therefore the rich no longer able to justify their wealth by claiming to be geniuses. Helping the poor thrive and become not poor is a direct threat to their ego and status.

Edit: Wholesome to realise i am the fourth person to comment this. Positivity woke!

You said way more than the other ones, namely that the Jeff Bezos of the world believe themselves part of a superior humanity that allows them to treat the rest like garbage.

The reason Mozart became a great composer is that he pissed on his employer's working conditions and went rogue. His Bezos treated him to a kick in the ass, literally, administered on his behalf. Allegedly.

The reason Einstein became a great physicist is that he got an outstanding public education and then worked a government job to make ends meet. The same government jobs that Bezos and Musk wanted to cut last year.

Bezos is not part of a special superhumanity. He is an extremely privileged lottery winner that is too vain to admit he got lucky and now pretends his opinion matters. As the meme states, the only useful thing he can provide is tax money.

Not true. He and a select few others are in the process of providing the great collapse.
