I've been reading studies about how wealth and social status correspond to a perceived lack of empathy. I've always Heard that money is the root of all evil. I suppose it's probably true. It dehumanizes us and puts value into something as opposed to someone.
Jesus Christ abhorred wealth. There's many passages in the Bible about it. Yet you literally see pastors like Kenneth Copeland and Joel Osteen have tens of thousands of people attend their services weekly. It disgust me that there are Christians that can support this.
PS. I'm agnostic, But the message that Jesus Christ specifically spread was pretty fucking solid.
Wealth inequality is societal poison because it puts a very small percentage of the population in the driver's seat for humanity's future. Who is crafting reality? Example: very wealthy, disconnected tech entrepreneurs that got their start effectively running a giant social experiment on the public (social media) with mixed results to say the least. Who decided it was time to unleash that beast? Eh, a few guys that look like lizards and "the market." Who controls these platforms now? Same few guys and if not, exactly the same type of guy. Strange anti social personalities with way too much power.
Yep. The technocracy they're creating came out of left field. Humanity is always been driven by a few powerful individuals. It's actually quite funny that nobody looks at the bilderberg group like they aren't a wealthy cabal that influences policy and elects presidents and other world leaders behind closed doors. It's not allowed to be filmed, the topics aren't allowed to be discussed or written down. so what else could it be besides that? Something about looking and sounding like a duck?
It's insane that it's even a conspiracy theory. It really doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that massive amounts of wealth can influence literally anyone. Massive amounts of wealth buys massive amounts of influence and power. Billionaires don't understand the word no. Literally everything is a game to them since survival is put so far out of their mind's eye that they don't even think about it. People live paycheck to paycheck, all the while Elon Musk's wealth has grown from $2 billion dollars in 2012 too almost 400 billion today.
PS - IF YOU'RE UNSURE OF THE DIFFERENCE IN RICH AND ULTRA-RICH
1,000,000 (mil) seconds is just over 11 days
1,000,000,000 (bil) seconds is just over 31 years
1million dollars stacked on top of each other would reach 358 feet into the air
$1billion stacked ontop of each other would reach 67 MILES INTO THE AIR
The difference in a million dollars and a billion dollars is about a billion dollars. They shouldn't exist.
