    They’re not talking about doctors who are working class but earn more. They’re talking about capitalists.

    The binary is “does the money come from labor or from owning something?” Whether or not they are doing a specific action.

    So what you’re describing is a grave miscommunication in which someone hears “rich” in 2026 and thinks “millionaire”.

      As always, then they should say that. No more “x is y” “no I meant chi is y!” debateslop

      No; rich is an incredibly broad, general, term. Anyone who speaks the English language knows that. So again, you have to be specific in your arguments when you lay them out for it to even make logical sense

        IMHO if you really want a good debate, you need to ask up front. Rich means a lot of different things to different people and they are indeed saying what they mean.

          Therefore we should never commit to a “remove rich people from society” ideology because it’s just a stand in term for “people i don’t like”
