champagne socialist

Try this trick to dismiss your opponent's arguments without listening to them. Especially effective against people who can afford a better phone than you or those who sometimes indulge in luxuries. This ad hominem attack is sure to nullify even the most well thought-out argument for wealth distribution.

Say the person you're talking to is arguing for more economic equality but they haven't given all their money away? Champagne socialist.

What if they're explaining the purpose of unions but you're getting a bit bored of performing mental gymnastics? Champagne socialist.

Now if they're trying to tell you that there are reasons some people can't work that aren't laziness? Champagne socialist.

Try it today, and if they call you out on it, try calling them a closed-minded virtue signalling hypocrite. Then when they get tired of talking to you because you're beyond help, you are free to proclaim victory and can continue to feel smug about supporting the broken system you were indoctrinated to believe in.

So, you want unemployed people not to die from easily treatable health problems, but you won't even sell your house and live as a hermit in the woods to make it happen; could you even be more of a champagne socialist?
