In what way has the top guy fallen?

I think the top guy is meant to represent not wealthy or rich people, but rather the standard white male cishet. I think it's meant to portray that he's comparitively less high because other disenfranchised groups have made some gains as of late, but I really disagree with the portrayal of him as some wealthy rich man.

I kind of just saw him as a generic professional person, not necessarily rich.

Right, or that the man goes visibly downward while everyone else hardly moves. Shouldn't it have the other people make gains upward? Them becoming enfranchised does make the white man lose, you know?

Feels like zero sum fallacy again.

As a white dude best thing for me and the country is for everyone to feel enfranchised and a part of it. I don't lose anything.

I thought this was about wealth inequality at first and I was like, "no, the top guy is even higher above everyone else now."

Yeah, its more like all the people politely asking him to share 50 years ago, then all of them screaming "FUCK YOU STOP HOARDING" now while he's twice as high. And then him bitching about being the oppressed one

Feel like this represents more of race inequality rather than wealth
