Inequality in itself seems mostly fine to me? Like, the poorest people today live lives with access to better stuff than literally kings of the past. That is fucking incredible. But add in people doing better than us and we quickly get not okay

But that story is sometimes quite validly based on facts and observations. It isn't imaginary just because it's based on our observations. I get dismissing 1st world problems, but when you're talking about the world's poorest you're often talking about life and death.

I should have said this in my original tweet, but in one of my followup tweets I clarified that I meant the western world's concept of poverty, not third-world poverty.
