Do you feel there is increasing global resentment against the ultra wealthy?

As well as the political class.

Srs, getting strong Joker movie vibes these days. And it's not just coming from the left either.

The world churns out more and and more centibillionaires, meanwhile now less than half of regular Americans will earn more than their parents - basically the opposite of the American dream. The economic picture for average people looks certifiably bleak.

How long can it continue before something snaps?

Political class? Certainly.

The "ultra" wealthy? IDK, not sure I'd say I've noticed any significant increase in that lately.

Its always been like that its just becoming more noticeable as more people are struggling

People dont look at the top with resentment when they feel like they are succeeding in life…when their dreams and finances get crushed is when they get disgruntled

Yes, but that resentment would probably be better turned towards self improvement. Many people want things they have not earned and the ultra wealthy are a good group to whine at.

On a global scale that is very sad, but as OP specifically mentioned Americans…no American is starving. My empathy for struggling Americans gets lower the longer I am a hiring manager.

Marx predicted that as education rises people will get tired of capitalist exploitation.

As I like to say, most of us go to school to work for some company owned by Epstein so he can get enough money to buy a ped0 island and then bribe your daughter to have orgies there.

If it's not that, it's something close.

Only idiots are going to continue supporting Epstein and his crew.

It's why the media supports anti-intellectualism and makes education hard to get. The more educated people there are the less they will want to support a monkey like society run by abusive liars and perverts.

It's not starving though, it's living.

On Maslow's Hierarchy a high functioning civilization ought to be better than just basic survival needs being met.

Many people in the US don't get to live and develop much about an animal level because they are always concerned with being exhausted and their level of safety. One medical or car bill and you can be in great debt so many people live in fear.

The combo of being exhausted, anxious, and fearful or money makes it so they cannot evolve psychologically.

It exists but the most active seem to be rich college kids going through a poor kid phase. Maybe a few undercover feds, politicians, and msm media controlled figures sprinkled in. Pretty much has always been like that anyways. Never underestimate the rich and powerful ability to control opposition. Game's rigged as fuk.

I have no resentment to the wealthy for being rich. I have resentment that most markets are heavily globally consolidated and breaking into anywhere is basically a nightmare unless you have a truly unique idea. Everything now is like the gas and oil industry. Unless you're making products, or even if you make software (which will get gobbled up by someone else), you have to really stand out. Bigger structures...

Uhhh...what do you consider "education"? I'm hoping you aren't just referring to formal "education", because Universities are full of/crank out all kinds of idiots (many of whom were indoctrinated while there) with virtually 0 critical thinking skills.

What you are talking about is "training" and not education.

A person will get a computer degree and know how to work computers but they will not know why people started the United States, for instnace.

They are "trained" and not educated.

Educated means that you have a good working knowledge about many things and can compared ideas in an informed way.

So, you are told you must kiss Epstein's feet but you learned that elite people, royalty, and so on are not real, so you don't want to kiss his feet. You learned that you're the one with the training and Epstein doesn't actually know how to do your job, so he is collecting money from your work just because he has money. You learned that money is a "fiat currency" meaning it has no value, so you know Epstein is treating you like a retard because they train retards with "tokens" like shiny stickers, and you're not having that.

Epstein tries to say you're racist because you disagree with him. But, you learned that some groups use fake races and religions to manipulate people, so Epstein's insults seem like nothing but petty manipulations.

You and billions of others are over these primitive games and that's how the world is supposed to change through education. The games are exposed.

Nah, they have been able to shift the blame to white people for creating global systems of oppression that systemically oppress POCs.

Against the class, yes. But the individuals, no. And that's because they're being manipulated to blame the faceless "wealthy"
