    How much of it? The world’s largest and most famous billionaires don’t even make up a rounding error in the world’s economy (hell, most countries blow Musk’s entire fortune annually on the dumbest conceivable shit), nor is their money ‘removed’ from it. Hell, the richest people in the world have the vast majority of their wealth tied up in their own company’s stocks, which by definition is money that’s playing an active role in the economy.

    Like seriously dude, there’s good reasons to hate billionaires and the current state of the global economy, but at least come up with valid arguments and criticisms that can convince people; otherwise, you’re just blowing hot air that only serves to paint legitimate critics as crazy people.





  • What, you expected people to stand up against a tinpot dictator who would happily torture them and their families? Would you do that?

    And Trump was literally about to take the final step towards killing democracy in America. He might not have invaded Mexico during his term, but he sure was setting up the environment where he could’ve gotten away with it and quashed any protest against it.



  • And how about the millions who weren’t okay with Putin, but were forced into silence because one person can’t fight governmental tyranny? Like, I don’t support Russia’s invasion and I think Putin needs to pay, but do millions of Russians who had no say whatsoever (and were brainwashed for decades through expertly crafted propaganda) deserve to starve alongside their children for the actions of a monster?

    If you say ‘yes’, then tell me if all Americans deserve to suffer the consequence of Trump’s presidency when the majority didn’t even vote for the guy.
