If people complain that other people earn more than them then they are just jealous. I am talking about fairness. When Warren Buffett complains that billionaires are paying less tax compared to the average Joe then you cant blame the average Joe getting angry about it.
- grey-area 10y agoSo talk about specific actions to remedy specific problems, not about a nebulous global elite.

- grey-area 10y agoThat certainly wasn't a vote against the global elite, since by any of the definitions above (in particular your 'pay less tax' one) he is a fully-fledged member of that elite. I'm sure he'll continue to talk about how he's taking on the global elite, or the main stream media, or muslims/terrorists or whatever other convenient group he can find to deflect blame. That's what's dangerous about terms like global elite - they lead you away from specific problems and into vicious blaming of some dehumanised other who becomes the scapegoat for all the world's ills.
