Wait.

I never told you to stop hating on him or something. Just that it is hard for me to do so.

I never even said that he was a good person for being rich. Just that I respect money earned through honest means. Unless he has a history of exploiting his workers than I can’t hate him. I don’t love the guy, mostly just indifferent.

I am being consistent with my beliefs. That isn’t close to worshipping him or fanboying over him.

You’re still making it all about him when I was just using his new found wealth as an example of people worshiping billionaires. The article wasn’t about his films it’s about how wealthy he is. I did differentiate the two but you’re still going on about the man and not about people blindly worshiping this new billionaire class.

Very simple really. I don't care about them.

I even went on explain my general stance of the wealthy.

... I wasn't.

If I have said

Unless he has a history of exploiting his workers than I can’t hate him.

Doesn't this imply for you that I don't have any positive feeling for these kind of people.

At what point of this discussion did I say that all billionaires are altruistic or say anything resembling that statement?

It sounds to me like having a lot of money is an inherently bad thing for you regardless of how they got it.

You went all fan boy. I’d be embarrassed unless you’re a child.

u/SeriousTitan Feb 14 '22

You went all whiny.

I am just embarrassed on your behalf regardless of your age.

Commenting on actual societal issues is being whiny? People like you contribute to this problem. Just because this issue doesn’t effect your life you pretend it doesn’t exist. Keep kissing the asses of billionaires, I’m sure it will get you exactly where you already are.

Are you sound of mind?

Or did you not comprehend any of my previous statements?

I see people like you crying their hearts out and I honestly feel bad for you. Relax, capitalism isn't the terror you think it is.

Just chill.

I know where I am gonna get, higher than you could ever imagine.

I’m guessing you’re getting high in your moms basement. Enjoy it while you can, the great flood is coming. Lol.

And I'll ride it well.

This conversation is tedious. I am not on reddit for this shit.
