Economic blackpill thread: r > g [WARNING: extremely brutal]

[Seth Walsh]

(r > g: The Silent War You Didn’t Know You Were Losing)

---

1. THE MATH THAT WILL DESTROY YOUR FUTURE​

r > g = Return on Capital beats Economic Growth.
Translation: Wealth grows faster than wages. Always.

• Your salary: 3% raise if you’re lucky.
• The rich’s stocks/real estate: 7-10% yearly, automatically.
  You’re in a race where they start 10 miles ahead… and get a jetpack.

---

2. THEY DON’T WORK. THEY OWN.​

• You: Trade hours for dollars. Lose sleep, health, time with kids.
• Them: Their grandparents’ stocks work while they sleep.
  Example: If your family saved $100/month since 1980, you’d have have $300k.
  If their family invested $100k in 1980 they'd have $12.6 million now.
  Labor is a scam. Ownership is the cheat code.

---

3. INHERITANCE IS THE ULTIMATE HACK​

You’re told “work hard, climb the ladder.”
They’re born on the rooftop.

• 60% of U.S. wealth is inherited, not earned.
• The Walton family (Walmart) makes $100,000 per minute from dead dad’s shares.
  Meanwhile, your dad’s “legacy” is a used Honda and medical debt.

---

4. THE MIDDLE CLASS IS A LIE THEY SELL TO KEEP YOU CALM​

Your “stability” is a house of cards:

• One layoff → Savings gone in 6 months.
• One illness → Bankrupt even with “insurance.”
  Their stability? Offshore trusts, diversified assets, politicians on speed dial.
  2008 proved it: You lost your home. They bought your home cheap and rent it back to you.

---

5. THEY’VE RIGGED THE RULES​

• Taxes: You pay 30% on wages. They pay 15% on capital gains.
• Bailouts: Banks get $700B in 2008. You got $1,200 in 2020.
• Inflation: Your paycheck buys less. Their real estate/art/gold soars.
  It’s not capitalism. It’s a cartel.

---

6. YOU’RE BEING FARMED​

• Student debt: You pay 7% interest to banks. They borrow at 2% to buy more assets.
• Your pension: Invested in their companies, making them richer.
• Rent: You pay 40% of your income to a landlord… who uses it to buy another property.
  You’re not a citizen. You’re livestock.

---

7. HISTORY SHOWS HOW THIS ENDS​

• 1789 France: 2% owned everything → Guillotines.
• 1917 Russia: Oligarchs feasted → Revolution.
• 2023? The 1% own $46 trillion (2x the bottom 90%).
  We’re nearing the breaking point. But they’ve learned: Keep you divided, distracted, and doped on Netflix.

---

8. THEY’RE LAUGHING AT YOUR “HUSTLE”​

Posting LinkedIn #grind inspiration?
They’re not impressed.

• You work 60hr weeks to afford daycare.
• Their kids get $500k “loans” from family offices to “start a business.”
  Meritocracy is a joke. The game is generational.

---

9. CLIMATE CHANGE? THEY’LL PROFIT FROM THAT TOO​

• You panic about wildfires.
• BlackRock buys Arizona water rights.
• Billionaires build bunkers in New Zealand.
  Your suffering is their investment thesis.

---

10. YOU’VE BEEN GASLIT INTO BLAMING YOURSELF​

“Should’ve skipped avocado toast!”
Meanwhile:

• A Harvard spot costs $500k in “donations.”
• A Congress seat costs $200M in dark money.
  You’re not bad with money. The system’s bad with morals.

---

THE ENDGAME:​

If r > g continues unchecked:

• By 2050, the 1% will control 90% of everything.
• You’ll own nothing. Rent everything. Beg for UBI.
• Democracy dies. Oligarchy wins.

---

HOW TO FIGHT BACK (BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE):​

1. Demand wealth taxes. Not income taxes—ownership taxes.
2. Unionize. Labor is weak alone. A swarm can sting the giants.
3. Sabotage their playbook: Buy land, start co-ops, run for local office.
4. Stop idolizing billionaires. Musk isn’t a genius. He’s a trust fund kid who bought Twitter.

---

LAST WARNING:
This isn’t theory. It’s physics. Wealth attracts wealth. Power protects power. If you wait for politicians or “the market” to save you, you’ll die poor.

WAKE UP. GET ANGRY. GET ORGANIZED.
Or kneel and accept your role as a peasant in their digital feudalism.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS.
BUT TIME IS RUNNING OUT.

Very high IQ thread just got iq mogged by this guy

HOW TO FIGHT BACK (BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE):​

1. Demand wealth taxes.

Stopped reading at this Gary's economics gigacope. This is never happening. Musk doesn't have billions in a bank account. Your wealth tax is more like steal his Tesla stock.

The rich’s stocks/real estate: 7-10% yearly, automatically

Debasement rate (growth of M2 supply) is 13% on average since 2020 and will be even higher in the future since the debt is compounding.

here's the actual problem: fiat money with no fixed supply. Central banks print money, increases the M2 supply that is chasing a fixed amount of goods/services. This debases/devalues/dilutes the currency, you need more of it to buy the same thing.

houses are going up in price due to currency debasement, they're not outperforming inflation. They're a perfect proxy for monetary inflation.

wtfhappenedin1971.com shows all economic problems are caused by money printing.

The actual and only solution: bitcoin. Why? Because it's impossible to control and increase the fixed supply cap of 21M. If you're the poorest bitcoiner on earth/last to adopt, at least in 1yr, 10yrs, 1000yrs your wealth saved would not have been debased.

stop this wealth tax/housing rant bullshit that will never change.

This!

Money printing allows to make insanely ineffective national budget.

Economists always say that printing is better to everyone? But for whom?

Everyone here is outearning his grandpa on paper here, but yet can’t afford anything.

Obviously if I owned the wealth, I wouldn't advocate against myself.

The main point of my account is to evoke strong reactions from people.


I personally agree with you on the bitcoin thing.

And I pretty much agree with you that things will never change. I agree that the problem of wealth distribution actually lies within how the money itself is flawed. Bitcoin is the best solution, as it stops the flow of inequality - there's no debt angle attached. You can't lend bitcoin against itself. So if we lived in a world where fiat didn't exist, and bitcoin was the only currency - things would be a lot better for everyone. We'd see value get exchanged fairly.

I couldn't even bring myself to try trigger or troll you.


High IQ ngl, wasn't expecting someone to comment something like you just did there

 

[Aypo129]

I was wrong your definitely a commie
A unemployed one too since you don't know what 401k is
You also don't know the annual wage growth either

An analysis by Steve Kaplan and Joshua Rauh of Stanford found that, in 2011, just 32% of the Forbes list came from very rich families, in fact, down from 60% in 1982. A huge 69% of those on the 2011 list started their own business, up from 40% in 1982. Reflecting this shift, Forbes introduced a self-made scoring system in 2014. Today, two-thirds of those on the list remain classified as self-made.

Most Billionaires Are Self-Made, Not Heirs

Some 32 percent of the Forbes 400 in 2011 belonged to very rich families, down from 60 percent in 1982.

Yeah the cantillion effect basically. Best for politicians and central bankers who get to spend it at yesterday's price.

It’s beyond me how some people still blame capitalism. Sure the problem is totally free trade and not the corrupt system we live under, death to socialists and communists

Haha fair enough.
The Gary's economics guy personally pisses me off since he basically says it's over for young people because they can't afford a house. Luckily btc is highly divisible, but ofc he hates that.

He's a psyop IMO. Wouldn't surprise me if his world's best trader story was completely fabricated

Bro thinks hea andrew tate

these economist bang their head over and over again on housing but can't seem to figure the most simple fact that there daddy government IS the reason behind it

No MUH BlackRock owns everything bro
They are a index fund and own REITS in all over the continent to get nominal returns slightly more than 10%
They ONLY OWN 4% of housing market in usa aka top tier returns one

California was growing at 5x times the rate back in 1970s and still easily had the lowest price on market BECAUSE there was no bullshit government trying to stomp on the individual

I think he's a plant for sure. Watch him never blame the money itself.

Bruv who's responsible for the inequality... the rich? Tax them so everyone else has a chance bruvvv. I was the best trader in the world in 2011 and now I can only afford 1 packet for rich tea biscuits down at Sainsbury's mate! 1000% a psyop.

Even if you taxed the rich ad infinitum, wealth would continue to concentrate in the hands of the few because that's how fiat "lets it be".

It's totally ridiculous yet Bitcoiners are called idiot libertarians. I think people like Nick Szabo, Adam Back, Hal Finney (RIP) really get it.


I guess Dollar debasement is still a huge asymmetric bet that still is, and always has been on the table, since Bitcoin was created.

Will it happen? If it doesn't worst thing that happens is you continue to live under the same corrupt monetary system 'til you die.

If it does....
