If this is really the best of humanity that will weather the storm, we could be doomed after all.

Why do people keep saying or assuming that these are the best of humanity? These literally are the leeches of humanity, the narcissistic antisocial hoarders who think they're the cream of the crop and obviously the only ones deserving of survival of the disaster they helped create.

Fuck these people, I hope they all die in a fire or something, humanity will be off better

I hope they all get sealed in their bunkers from the outside and go insane trapped in the tomb they’ve created.

It is one of the worst parts of US culture and one of the greatest accomplishments of capitalists' propaganda that we generally see the rich as noble and admirable while the poor are evil and disgusting.

Not to be all US-centric about it, but that's where I live and I think this place's reputation speaks for itself.

Middleclass hillbillies from North Dakota think they're the cream of the crop?
