I think it's a parody account, right?

> I'd rather be on a yacht out of touch with reality. We all our preferences; some just are unable to have them

> Just bc I'm rich doesn't mean I don't have problems. In fact I've been devastated about the furniture my decorator chose

> I'm funemloyed, much better than actually being employed. Try it sometime...if you can

Regardless, in general, disliking people just because they're rich seems unhelpful and a quick way to jealously and discontentment. Being angered by wealthy individuals who actively abuse those with less is an entirely different story though.

I looked through it and it appears not to be. My first impression was similar to yours, but all was normal on the account until the Fyre Festival and she began complaining about the conditions and how she was having problems getting her father's jet in to pick her up. Friends of hers also had private jets come get them. The things you posted were in response to criticism of her wealth and I think at that point she became angry and started going into full snob-mode.

I didn't say that I dislike rich people, I was just saying that a mutual hatred between classes seems to be common in today's America. Her recent Twitter feed puts that on full display.

> I did not go to the #fyrefestival. I'm shocked the majority of people didn't catch on to the fact that we were trolling.

Yeah, just posted. My point still stands, there was a lot of hate being spewed at legitimate attendees. It figures that I choose to single out one that turns out to be an authentic looking troll that reveals it just after I mention it, but that's just my bad luck.

No, because even if this account is real, most rich people do not agree with this person. This is one possibly-real person being a bad person. No need to spin that into a theory about class hatred.

My apologies, I didn't mean to imply that you dislike rich people, or anything about you personally! My comments were just reflecting on my own experiences of feeling antipathy towards those with more and trying to figure out what's productive and what's unhealthy.

Literally the last 7 tweets as of right now (all of which are older than this comment) are the account owner saying she was trolling.

Yes - account says so now. https://mobile.twitter.com/storeyfrizzell

I think "troll account" is a better term for it.
