    The depressing thing about this is that the rich fuck is actually right. Instead of seeing him as the enemy, both of the poor people just keep fighting against each other for scraps.

      i wouldn’t call it “right”. what he does is morally wrong, but yes, it works as long as the people he pits against each other using media campaigns etc are ignorant about the situation. the picture is meant to make people aware of it, which can help fix the situation. it’s very easy to understand like that. even children can see it with the picture, so nobody gets left behind.
