> That's just false. The "anti-rich people movement" is as old as civilization, look no futher than pesant revolts against the nobility and worker strikes of the past 200 years.

As a concept it certainly isnt new, I agree... but as of late it has been an idea that has far more support than it has in the recent past.... I really could care less about how much it was adopted historically.

> Rich people specifically rarely partecipated in the whole "taking care of each other" thing when it involved common people anyway.

Spoken as someone just making shit up with little expiernce or evidence to back it up.

First off objectively rich people donate a far larger **percentage** of their income to charity works than middle class or the poor... we arent just talking dollars and cents but actual percentage of income. And the difference is huge.

As one of the only objective measures i can really think of this alone shows fairly well you statement to be false.

Moreover, anyone who has been around rich people in a social and personal way (rich family, through work, whatever) would plainly see that these people often care a great deal about charitable work and doing more with their money.. Most rich people I know have 20 or 30 things I personally know of they went out of their way and sacraficed to help communities.

Dont get me wrong there are selfish evil rich people too... probably in the same perportion as non-rich really. But the idea that as a crowd they are inherently more evil than those with less money... thats just jealousy and pettyness blinding you, little more.

@AmpBenzScientist @thor

@georgetakei I will never understand why people care about such petty things like this that dont matter... who the fuck cares if he wears nailpolish... who does that even hurt!

@raymccarthy

Why? We already have brain interface links that do similar damage to neuralink, this isnt unusual or unexpected. In its current form it is rightfully used on terminal patients with locked-in syndom. In other words, people before it damaged their brain in a meaningful way and whom cant be further paralyzed.

It would give these people a chance at someinteraction with the real world... What happened with the monkeys was about in line with other neural interfaces, its a consequence of the limits of the tech not negligence.

@ajsadauskas @technology

What percentage of people are morons?

@freemo

Took these again for shits and gigs. It reminded me why I dislike quizzes like this, the questions always kinda suck Or are like "um, what?"and I always wish there were more choices. A lot of them I'm like "um, let the individual/the market decide that, not me." lol

And I remember one time I took a strictly leftist-oriented one for shits and gigs too. It said "utopian socialist" but when you looked at the graphs it was basically "Fuck the environment, build a shitload of factories."

@kilroy_was_here

Yea they are always a little annoying and hard to answer correctly because "it depends"

lolol

WOOOOOT! First contact on 80 meters on my new antenna. 3.892MHz, 290 miles (PA to west virginia).

The last antenna (same model and configuration) never worked on 80m because we never tuned the whip right... but this one everything was 59, excellent stuff!

🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱  
The antenna is up, tuned, and working! (Video attached, analysis and pictures in first reply) #Ham #HamRadio #AmateurRadio #Radio #RF #ee

@AmpBenzScientist yea, though that is pretty common stuff for this server.. pretty sure almost everyone has good math and tech skills :)

But yea i figured in non-political stuff we would be more similar

@AmpBenzScientist there seems to be more compatibility with our views than I would have guessed honestly...

@AmpBenzScientist I find it odd that i am more progressive and less conservative than you are though... that i wouldnt have expected.
