Uplifting News•Anti-Poverty Campaigners Cheer Spain-Brazil-South Africa Plan to Tax the Grotesquely RichEnglish
37·6 months agoBelieving in a fairytale don’t make it real either. We know since decades that ultrarich people are a nonsense, but we’re still not remotely close of a universal wealth tax, so it’s unlikely it will happens someday, especially in the current political context.

Uplifting News•Anti-Poverty Campaigners Cheer Spain-Brazil-South Africa Plan to Tax the Grotesquely RichEnglish
64·6 months agoThere’s no way that’s ever gonna happen, rich people are too powerful and influent, even poor people are treating them as demigods.
My first apartment was pretty cheap, for very good reasons.
-18 sq meters.
-Heating appliance really too big, with a very loudy ignition, and nearly impossible to keep on during windy weather.
-It was under the roof and the intercom did not work, so i had to get down all the stairs to know who just ringed to me.
-The floor cracked at every step.
-My direct neighbor were borderline-rednecks.

You are really downplaying the situation. Fascists are in power in an increasingly number of countries and are currently at the head of the most powerful and influential one. It’s only a matter of time before any action against them will be illegal, if not virtually infeasible. Counter-powers are already dying fastly, and any way to protest may be outdated tomorrow.
