Newell and Sinegal (Costco) prove that some billionaires are able to brainwash people into believing that they're good people instead of believing their wealth could be redistributed to those in need instead of being used to buy a yacht collection. As long as there are people starving and homeless and the climate crisis is a thing, there will not be a single billionaire that isn't an evil piece of shit.
Except that's not what happened here and I see Gabe N get shit on on Lemmy a lot so I don't know why you think you need to preach to me.
Because you're the one calling them "less bad" when they're consciously making the choice to accumulate unfathomable amounts of wealth while people around them are starving and can't afford to have a roof over their head.
Newell is less bad. It's not my fault you're too simple minded to understand shades of gray so I'd rather not hear about it
If someone agrees with you there are no good billionaires but adds a slight caveat, you could probably be less abrasive and just move on with your life instead of arguing and potentially pushing people away from your point of view even further.
Exploitation is exploitation is exploitation
Still doing mental gymnastics to avoid admitting you didn't need to chide me, cool
