Isn't the dollar fake and gay? Isn't wealth necessarily invested in destroying us? Aren't all those portfolios made out of treason? Isn't it revolting to you to think that you will suffer deprivation and lack and grief so that systems will stay afloat for trust fund kids who won't ever know a moment of soul crushing, degrading economic desperation and insecurity?

I am sure that some people think wealth means a pile of cash stored in a cupboard somewhere that can all be spent at will without any adverse affects.
In reality, most of the wealth owned by rich people is just on paper. It could be company shares, for instance. It could be all in property in which case, to spend any money, they would need to sell the property first.
Another point is that the wealth people control need not actually belong to them. If you create a non-profit organisation, which you run but do not own, you can still give yourself a huge salary, provide yourself with a car etc but not technically own any of it.
That way they cannot take it away from you.
