Rich White People: "Humans are simply incapable of self-governance. They are too violent, too prone to conflict, too hell bent on self-obliteration. I suppose we are doomed as a species to exterminate ourselves and all other life surrounding us."

Every Other Socio-Economic Group: "STAHP! PLEASE STAHP!!!!"

Greed and lack of vision aren't flaws exclusive to white people. Implying such is racist.

That's literally not what they said, or implied. I hope you're just bad at reading and social comprehension, someone else may take up explaining it to you.

Unless you're a bot or a paid actor. (Or did the writer edit their comment to add "rich" after you posted? That might be implied by the couple of comments below.)

They quite literally painted the picture as rich white people vs everyone else, including rich not-white people (see: Every other Socio-Economic group).

Getting real tired of people with bad reading comprehension talking shit about reading comprehension.

Typical Lemmy comment.

Those aren't mutually exclusive, though. Even if 99.9% of a species fits in perfectly with the environment, if that last little sliver destroys everything, and the rest of the species is unable and/or unwilling to stop them, then we destroy everything anyway. Sure, it may not be ALL humans, but it's still humans.

Remember kids, racism is okay if MY Group does it.

What a stupid take.

Please see: street kids playing the game and hustling for money. It's the same exact strategy as businessmen. The same game. It's all the same from the bottom to the top, and these shitty rappers have people sucking their dick about struggle when they are doing the same manipulative things as the rich people.

Kill yourself, or go to war against it before you ever play that game.

Selling meth, crack and H, or pimping and trafficking is just as shitty as being a crooked cop making side money or a corrupt politician or businessman. Where were they when there were protests against cops? In 2020 they proved they are bitch and down for nothing but money. Not only that but when you understand how all that shit works, you know regular people use them, they are basically used by feds to do the dirty work the feds can't legally do.
