We know since decades that ultrarich people are a nonsense, but we’re still not remotely close of a universal wealth tax, so it’s unlikely it will happens someday, especially in the current political context.
Merlu@lemmy.mlto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Anti-Poverty Campaigners Cheer Spain-Brazil-South Africa Plan to Tax the Grotesquely RichEnglish54·3 days agoThere’s no way that’s ever gonna happen, rich people are too powerful and influent, even poor people are treating them as demigods.
My first apartment was pretty cheap, for very good reasons.

Merlu@lemmy.mlOPto Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•"Leopards ate my face" in history: in 1935, the gestapo arrested Max Neumann, founder of a pro-hitler jewish association, then deported families of other members of the said associationEnglish0·24 days agoThis is precisely what made me think about the possibility of a jewish pro-hitler association existing in the (pre-)nazi Germany.
You are really downplaying the situation. Fascists are in power in an increasingly number of countries and are currently at the head of the most powerful and influential one.
