the black and white mindset… you’re either with the hivemind or against. no room for nuanced opinions.
someone posts a stupid strawman argument pro abortion/anti billionaire/etc… you can’t point out the flaw in the logic without being called a sexist racist Nazi.
example: some post about how billionaires should pay 35% tax on their net worth, you point out that people are taxed on their income, not possessions, you’re a bootlicker
Down bad with this. You tell people about the concept of unrealized gains and how if it is applied to the rich mofos, it will be surely applied to us poor mofos and everyone downvotes in mass.
Also telling the “eat the rich” crowd that, if their yearly income is 40k or above then they are in fact richer and wealthier than 97% of the world’s population save therefore much deserving of being “eaten” and they flip the fuck out

Someone doesn’t understand the difference between 40k and a million or a billion
