> That's not eugenics, that's not mean, that's not classism, that's not racism, that's common sense.

it is the material conditions of classism, racism, and hate that causes the poverty in the first place, with the intentional outcome of making the lower class suffer, so the rich can have more. this IS eugenics. you say it isn't, but in the preceeding paragraph, straight up say that poor people have no business having kids. unbelievable.

Never ascribe to malice what can be explained by ignorance.

There's far more indication that the wealthy just don't know/care about the plight of the poor. Sure a few billionaires might promote what can be seen as anti-poor policy but it seems as though most of them think it's actually good policy.

Your comment is equally bizarre and extreme as the one you're replying to, but extreme in a different direction.

yes, we all know what hanlons razor is, thanks. that indication does not matter in the least, nor is it in any way provable. the rich completely ignoring their domination over the poor does not make them less culpable. it's almost worse, in a way.
