i tend to flag and move on, but i'm making an exception to note that simplistic, identity-based tropes like this are so damaging to real discussion and should be flagged and ignored because the post was not made in good faith (in short, it's a troll). gdp (national wealth) is a made-up metric, it's aggregate, it's dynamic, incomplete relative to its stated rationale for existence, inapplicable to the discussion, and a whole host of other irrelevances to a real understanding of wealth and its distortions.
