    everyone is responsible

    Yes, but the ultra-rich are on average 48 times as responsible, so let’s start with them.

    saying the rich are to blame for everything

    Nobody’s saying that they’re solely to blame, but they’re many times more to blame than anyone else, so it makes sense to focus on them.

    And note that probably all of us here are part of the world’s top 10 %, given how poor most of the world is.

    Nope. The vast majority of us are in the 2nd highest quartile. Reminder since you seem to be horrible at proportions: 25% is two and a half times as much as 10%. Moreover, 10% is ten times as many as 1%.

    In conclusion: you don’t know shit and should stfu with your ridiculous attempts at invalidating the whole concept of differences in scale.

        You call that “only”? Must be nice…

        Maybe stop talking about me personally and instead discuss the topic.

        I’ll stop talking about you personally when you personally stop being confidently wrong about everything.

          Yes, I call that only. Median worth in the USA is almost double that! Most of the US people are at least twice as rich as the richest 10th percentile of the world!
