    The idiots are convinced they’ll “be one of them someday”

    Cue the “Fry, you arent rich!” Scene. Its very very real.

    I have a friend that literally blames all problems in America on “The Poors” (his words) and when I try to tell him he IS the poors and is nowhere near rich, he doesn’t listen. Doesn’t believe workers should own the means of production because “when he owns HIS business, he wants to keep his money HE earned”

    Brainwashed idiocy.

    He rents, has a 20 year old car, is a bartender, and shops at Walmart exclusively. Also loves Grok.

    America is doomed.

      Always loved that Futurama scene, for the way it’s perfectly in line with Fry’s character and his amazingly broken reasoning facilities, while also just directly pointing out the bitter hatred of self, as a class, this kind of thinking always entails.
