See. We are all evil 1%'ers. The top 1% of the 1% being the most evil of all of course.
I was interested they included internet access and mobile phones. Are those basic needs nowadays? Are they rights or luxuries?

I understand that you are trolling the politics forum hard these days but you do present some interesting things. However there is some missing perspective.
In the how much people make per day statistic are they normalizing for cost of living? The world is a big place and "equality" needs to be defined. Someone living in Mississippi doesn't need to make the same amount of money to live equally as well as someone that lives in NYC. Same goes for someone in Mississippi vs someone in a backwater of Asia.
WHY don't those people have clean water, food, education. It sure isn't because they are living in a democracy. What are you willing to give to get people that "equality"? Do you think we should overthrow dictatorships to get people clean water, food and education? Are you willing to sacrifice other people's lives to get more equality? Are you willing to lower the civilized world's high standard of living to equalize it to raise the 3rd world's standards?
What does the video mean by "fight" harder? That is very vague.
Are we talking equality of outcome or opportunity? Are you going to force people to move to places that are more habitable even if they don't want to? How much suffering are you willing to cause to generate this "equality"?
The good thing for Americans is that we are lucky enough to be in a country where we have more then enough food, water, medicine and education if you are just willing to look for it and it is free to pretty much anyone willing to ask, even for those that are not here legally. You don't even have to work for it. Just ask. As an American you are basically in the top 20% of the world even if you are in our bottom 10%. You are also lucky to be somewhere that you can work your way up and have an opportunity to better yourself.

In the Global sense, yes, we are. And yes, the internet is a basic need in 2016 and as basic a human right as access to food, shelter, healthcare, cellphones and high-def TV's. |

Translation: It's good to live in a place that got where it got directly on the backs of 250 years of slave labor, worker exploitation, genocide of native populations, imperialist expansionism, crony capitalism and economic warfare against third world countries, and a massive millitary industrial complex to buttfuck anyone who dares question us or compete with us. It's amazing how little value Americans place on the "how" behind their (now clearly declining) global dominance and the abject widespread evils perpetrated, usually against brown people, to get there. |

Still too complicated. I'm being told that the world is only ONE person. Where's the cartoon for that?

....the world is only ONE person..... Well, that IS the mindset of most me-first, me-only libertarian/republicans. No idea about social responsibility, just a me-first gimme gimmie gimmie, I get mine and fuck everyone else mindset. |

So now that you've embraced the state-mandated social responsibility spaghetti monster, what are you doing to exhibit it and to make up for all of those lost years of your previous gimme mindset? |
