Meritocracy :/

Just a word for kicking people when they are down.

Same with Christianity. Except it will have you believing someone is good because they are rich.

I fell for that. Whew boy was I wrong!!!

There's a burgeoning belief within sects of Christianity that equivocate wealth with "goodness" as well. Which is heinous

Prosperity Gospel? "Health and wealth" as a sign that God loves you is such a heinous concept.

Comes from the Puritan idea that you can tell who God favors by looking at their bank balance

That’s not capitalism. That idolatry. These Magat cultists believe that DJT has all the answers. David Koresh was a high school drop out with a history of abuse. They didn’t follow him because he was smart. They followed and allowed him to abuse them because they thought he had the answers.

Fail upwardly and people will think you're a genius 🤦‍♂️

No one reaches billionaire status through kindness… only through the relentless act of taking more than they give, hoarding wealth that was never meant to be theirs.
