    Fuck this noise. The only classes that matter are the people who are rich enough to own Disneyland, and everyone else. Quibbling over whose shit sandwich is bigger is just dividibg ourselves for their benefit.

        This is being attributed to Jim Trotter, but I can’t find a source for this claim. I can’t even find when he is supposed to have said it…
        It was definitely said in Mr. Robot (2015), and it was definitely not said in the movie The Skulls (2000), no one in that entire movie ever says “bank”, despite what some people on reddit claim.

        According to this blog post, the oldest tweet is from 28 Nov 2011 @Bonoboism.

        Maybe someone else can find a better source.

      This.

      50% of the economy in the US is controlled by the “Whenever the fuck I want” class.

      I consider it more of a spectrum, those who are rich enough to own Disneyland on the one hand and those who are fucked the most by the system that benefits the people who are rich enough to own Disneyland on the other. Not everyone is equally fucked by the system that benefits the people who are rich enough to own Disneyland. But you’re right about the shit sandwich.
