I’m not the same evil as a billionaire, and that accusation tells us everything we need to know about you. I’ll gladly take the ire of folks like you, the things that make you clap are disgusting. Go live up to your username, that’s all you are to these malignant fucks.

So if I were a poor person in a 3rd world country who couldn't afford dinner, let alone a phone, would the message that you have more than your share and should distribute your wealth be any less true?

Yes. Regular, average citizens don’t have the means to single handedly dismantle systemic issues. Should we all just exhaust ourselves into homelessness? What would that change? Should I sell off all my belongings and live in complete destitution to achieve your standard of moral and ethical ability to speak on any issue of societal justice with any level of validity? I could liquidate all of my value and it still wouldn’t be enough to change the situation for anyone in a 3rd world situation. Either give up all your belongings and donate ALL the proceeds to those in need or shut the fuck up you hypocrite. There are people who could single handedly make the world better, but it’s not anyone that’s struggling to pay rent and put food on the table, you smug jackass.

Not my moral standards. Like I said, I'm happy where I am. I'm just pushing your moral standards back on you, from a different perspective. You're calling my a hypocrite , but that's you projecting. I understand it hurts to have to see yourself as unjust when using the same yard stick as you use to criticize the billionaires. And yes, if you sold all your shit and moved to some 3rd world country and lived frugally amoung the people but brought in supplies for others, you could make a huge positive difference - probably for an entire village. I get that you don't want to give up your comforts for that. Neither do I. But that's just how billionaires see it too looking at you as the poor. It's all relative.
