Can't fucking win with you, can they?

[–] Sylver@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, because it is literally impossible to become a billionaire without exploitation.

Millionaire? Possible. Billionaire? No moral way.

Oh good grief, you really are a tedious lot.

[–] DessertStorms@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

lmfao, right, because you complicit "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" are a real treat...

Here's a hint for you: no matter how much boot you lick, or how much you defend the indefensible, they're never going to know you exist and you're never going to be one of them, so you're not only humiliating yourself for nothing and shooting your own foot, but the rest of our feet, too, by allowing those who exploit us all (yourself included) to continue to do so uninterrupted while their hoards of pathetic sycophants fight their battles for them.

Clown.

try this for tedium.. if you don't understand that being a billionaire is unethical, you aren't human.. because that sentiment only grows from here, so you need to get used to it..

I'm not quite sure what you're missing. The entire premise of those post and this thread is that we don't think billionaires should be allowed to keep their money and power because being a billionaire is morally wrong. Why would we let them "win?"
