Democrats want us to believe that there is some cohort of “good billionaires” who can be relied upon to fight for political progress. But as the right-wing turn of tech billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk suggests, this is nonsense.
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.
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.

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.
