    What is the source for the images?

    To me it looks like a fancy dinner party in say London, and a picture of Gaza.

    If that is accurate, then it isn’t really how a revolution starts.

    I get what you are trying to say, but I need more info before agreeing or not.

      No way that is Gaza. No way. Way too much food on their table. Might be Egypt? Syria? Iraq? Maybe even Iran? But not Gaza. The people in Gaza are starving.

      Edit just noticed the ruins behind them. Syria maybe?

        Ok, my mistake, my point still stands, pretending that these two pictures comes from the same city or even country, and drawing a line leading to revolution is just dumb.

        The poor people in the ruins are not even on the same continent as the dinner party.

      Yeah to be honest no one really cares about the picture on the left. To be clear, they are paying to be there with their own personal wealth. Now you could make the arguement that that wealth was misappropriated but it’s not coming directly from the public purse.

      There are plenty of examples of abusive power that could have been provided, but that isn’t one of them. That’s just an example of the wealthy being tasteless.

        Shite. Who’s paying for those Beefeaters? Pretty sure it’s mine and your taxes.
