    "Instead of being singled out and scorned in viral videos, Roth, CEO of Vornado Realty Trust, thinks the ultra-rich should be 'praised and thanked' and said calls to tax them more are akin to racial slurs." WTF? link to article: https://www.politico.com/news/2026/05/05/real-estate-titan-compares-tax-the-rich-slogan-to-racial-slurs-00907424 #USPol #TaxTheRich #NYC #Resist

  • @ahimsa_pdx there’s even some inner logic to that comparison, given that wealth is oftentimes inherited. But given their power and unbelievable ignorance, the race of the super rich is one I’m happily racist against

    @ahimsa_pdx The parallel between race and wealth actually makes a lot of sense. Race is a social construct that clings to individuals inescapably. In a capitalist society, wealth functions similarly. Being born into a wealthy family means social reproduction alone can sustain that wealth—legacy even before inheritance. When you racialized, it's for life. When you're rich, too. What’s striking is his blindness to why people resent those who dominate the system (hint: not the racialized).

  • @ahimsa_pdx Steve Roth is made out of privilege and dogshit. To be fair, there are other slogans about what we should do with the rich that I prefer to "tax the rich." Steve should count himself very lucky.
