Because he is convinced they are on the same team. He is just a temporaryly embarrassed millionaire. He might get his too. Spoiler, he won’t.
But this is necessary because wealthy people keep society away from war and chaos, right?
Just a variation of the Prosperity Gospel. They think they will become rich if they just give this rich guy more money.
been to serf city. not going back
Not only does he give money. He votes.
Remember that when you decide to skip an election.Or throw your vote away on a spoiler that only benefits fascists.
Both red and blue candidates owns multiple million-dollar properties. I believe you are missing the point of this meme
Edit: I didn’t noticed the flag at first, for a moment i though people were finally realizing how much the system is rig but it’s just another political meme
Both red and blue candidates own
smultiple million-dollar properties.The term “million dollar property” doesn’t mean anything to me. Every home in my area costs at least a million. That’s not mind-blowing wealth, that’s just homeownership these days.
You’re also fucking wrong. Tim Walz is a blue candidate that I will vote for, and he’s got less of a net worth than I do (his $330k to my $360k), and only owns one modest home. Kamala Harris may be worth about $8M (with a single $5M home in L.A.), but that’s still not even 1%er territory, and still only a single property…
The Republicans are firmly the party for billionaires like Elon Musk ($270B). If you can’t tell the difference between thousands, millions, and billions (or hundreds of billions) that’s your own stupid fault.
Elon Musk is, and I’m not exaggerating, worth 820,000 times more than Tim Walz, and he’s all-in on Trump (who also claims to be a billionaire). If you want to fight back against the rich, learn math and pay attention to who has all the money.
I didn’t notice
dthe flag at firstOr the aerial shot of Mar-a-lago (worth $28M)
PS: learn how to use tenses correctly.

Check their net worth again once you are paying him taxes, remember to do this.

The average salary around the world is less than 1000$. 5 Millions in my country is enough to get half of the castle show in the picture.
If the situation is the one described in the picture, not voting, not paying taxes and not playing the government game sounds like a fair decision.
Edit: didn’t noticed the flag, i thought this was a meme describing society in general
Honestly even with the current situation, I’m seeing call for donations and aid to the affected States who have been hit hard this week. But I think to myself, why should I help these people when they are voting for politicians who are literally refusing federal aid, cause they don’t want to look like they’re accepting Biden’s help. Now my poor ass is s donating to people who are refusing aid at the same time. I hate it
That’s kind of narrow minded of you, not every person in the south is a trump loving conservative. That’s the same kind of thinking they have when wildfires affect California, or pandemics hit cities more than rural areas, you have to be better than them and more open-minded.
Also Asheville, which is now flooded, is one of the most hippy liberal cities in the country.
I confirm that ashville is super hippy. If ypu havent been there then im sorry for your loss
Don’t donate then?!
The funniest thing about this is Trump won’t stop grifting them. Every month is something new. Trump trading cards. Trump shoes. Trump NFTs. Like the moment Harris tries to sale me shoes, I’m out. But these people can’t afford medical care because their Republican state government cut their benefits, so now they are going to send money to a guy who is selling NFTs… Enough said.
But, but… That $100K watch is awesome!
Why’s it say km
For scale but they forgot to include the scale
Not sure tbh
naw. Fuedal is the tax guy shows up and demands payment. this is something else.
Maybe it’s a Fin-dom kink?
I dunno, I feel like the hierarchical nature of feudalism is more core than tribute extraction. The lord needs the support of his loyal vassals, while the loyal vassals only need their lord insofar as they crave a ruler over themselves - or over their despised peers, for which they are willing to sacrifice money and dignity, and sometimes even their lives.
I agree here. Feudalism to me was a system to maintain order by splitting the kingdom into essentially vassal states that worked relatively independently through a kings central government rules.
It would be awfully hard for a vassal landholder to get the kind of materials that they can’t produce on their own. Iron, tin, copper, lead; depending on the area, lumber, as well.
There was also the military presence keeping the brigandry in check (including from other feudal lords.)
Vassals also exchanged military service for land. (And the serfs that came with it!)

Yet most fiefs during the height of feudalism were autarkic, and engaged in minimal trade, much less redistribution from their overlord.

Considering how rampant brigandry was, dunno how valid that is. As for other feudal lords, those are, of course, the peers they despise.
Vassals also exchanged military service for land. (And the serfs that came with it!)
Land could not simply be revoked in most feudal systems, though, and was more often inherited than granted by the overlord.
None of your points are wrong, necessarily, but I don’t think they’re major compared to the core pillar of “I trust my overlord to oppress me only a moderate amount, while I don’t trust my neighbors not to oppress me a much greater amount, so I would like it very much if my overlord would just oppress everyone. I’ll lick his boots for it.” It becomes especially apparent in Bastard Feudalism of England and in the later feudal system of Japan in which land revenue, rather than land itself, was what was granted to many warrior-vassals.
They still needed land, though. Trump’s promise of fossil capitalism might resemble that land, but the whole comparison shakes a bit.
This is something I see a lot with the houses that have Trump signs in my area. They always have a multitude of run down cars, a house that is falling apart, a bunch of stuff in their yard that are not lawn ornaments, and occasionally are fenced in. It’s pretty consistent and they always have Trump signs and flags even though voting for Harris would likely help them afford to fix up their cars or house.
I think the fact that Harris would help everybody is the dealbreaker.
Oh 100%, they don’t want minorities to benefit from it so they’d rather fuck themselves over than allow everyone to have a better standard of living.
Pardon my ignorance… Who lives in this house?
Oh. Idk that I’ve ever seen a picture of his modest house. Lol
I mean with all those hurricanes the man’s probably drowning in insurance premiums alone!
