giving up your own personal wealth in a way that has absolutely no impact on the capitalist system literally isn't betraying poo poo. a betrayal is a violation of some sort of trust. the only people who you could claim he "betrayed" maybe are his kids

It's a betrayal in the same sense that putting up a tennis court in your garden when all your neighbors have a pool is.

It is not even remotely true that your average middle-aged home-owner has multiple millions in assets, lol. Like 200k-500k for the ones who have fully paid off their homes (which I don't think applies to most middle-aged home-owners), maybe, but what you describe is only possible if people both own homes that are worth more than a million dollars and have $1M+ saved up.
|
# ? Sep 25, 2020 05:52 |

somewhere around 5% of households have a million plus in assets which is, uh, a much smaller number than the percentage of middle aged or older homeowners What an incredibly stupid idea to have

yeah in Karl Korsch’s Marxism and Philosophy he clearly lays out that all homeowners over middle aged are multimillionaires for instance, if you own a ranch style rambler with an apparent value of 100k, you actually own ten of them, and have another million dollars in liquid cash, and this is universally true according to theory. elderly black lady in neighborhood that hasn’t gentrified yet that owns a house in disrepair? multimillionaire. guy who works as a waiter with his paraprofessional wife and kid whose parents helped them with the down payment fifteen years ago? multi. millionaire. read your theory god it’s all right there
