The worst is when rich people interview other rich people about their rich person thing (e.g. Ivanka Trump purchasing an island), so that poor people can watch it on television. That level of narcissism and arrogance is just fucking astonishing to me. You can be rich and also just shut the absolute fuck up about it.

I don't get it either bit poor people even love to watch this, thinking rich people are still normal people with normal problems... Lets not forget though that rich people are not our main concern. It's the obscenely rich people that need some obscene defunding.
A lot of the people doing it aren’t even rich anymore. It’s a Ponzi scheme of influencers vying for social capital that can’t actually be cashed in for anything
My eyes were practically bleeding while watching some local news coverage at a bar, fairly recently.
It was literally two geriatric fascists in cowboy hats yelling at each other over the image of a young black man with facial tattoos in an orange prison jumpsuit. The debate was whether the local PD had gone woke and become complicit in street crime or just needed another zillion dollars of additional funding to fight the urban menace.
Sports coverage is not news; there's always a sports segment in every 'news' program. Entertainment masquerading as news. Kill Rupert Murdoch and his progeny.
Thanks Frieren!
But not your bit, right?
Ah yes, me a famously rich person.
Cmon, we both know I didn't refer to that
What are you referring to?
The socialist who posts a lot of news posts this. It's not really that hard of a joke to get
Yogthos isn't telling poor people to blame each other, but that the working classes need to collectively fight the bourgeoisie.
But he is spreading the message of the rich [news].
Are you suggesting that learning about current events is only something the rich should do?
I'm just saying that the news is rich people paying rich people to tell poor people to blame eachother
The news is generally rich people paying workers to frame current events in bourgeois friendly manners. It's up to us to read through the lines.
"news" could be any new information over any medium and is as old as language and gossip and culture itself
The News™ is a manufactured product designed to control the masses
Are you suggesting we should just never post or discuss either?
