i tweetd about how ppl who've launched themselves up a tier in wealth tend to have a bunch of better qualities (mentioning other factors are at play too!) and i dont think ive had my mentions so full of people acting like i said something totally different before

although i do unironically believe most ppl who launched themselves up a tier in wealth did so by helping a ton of people. I generally like capitalism and this is why - ppl get rich by providing value for others. (Ofc artificial market constraints often fuck this up)

Rich people have qualities that make them better at getting rich but that does not mean they are better people. If they were better people, they would not be rich. Most of them had luck and connections you and I will never have. (cont.)

I don't doubt that there are people in your mentions straw-manning you. But to steel-man: even just directly quoting the tweet it sounds classist: "Have you considered that people who get rich are just better than you?"
