I don't know why you're being downvoted bro. You're exactly right. Billionaires are like a hydra. We have a system that breeds them, cranks them out, gives them safe harbor in the highest levels of government. Same thing with fascists. We (the people) need to vote them out, put much tighter walls around money and government ... but its not the individuals per se, it's the whole rigged system that needs to be fixed (or chucked), so that we don't keep breeding people like billionaires.

    He is downvoted because he presented his point in a way that’s really annoying to read

    Mind pointing out more specifically why it is annoying to read? English is not my native language.

    Accusations like “how hard is it to understand…” and “people should…” feel preachy, since this is lemmy people are driven by feelings more than argument so something like “I believe…” is much more palatable

    They didn’t use that language:

    Reddit moment.

    You see a tragedy where a crew and entire family with kids gets turned into char and your knee-jerk comment is "Weeell, were any of those people financially successful? Because if they were, that would turn this tragedy into a wholesome moment 🤗"

    Mb 😭

    yeah the term “Reddit moment” makes me cringe so badly i shrivel into a prune. The emoji as well

    And I mean it still pretty accusatory with the “you see a tragedy…” and obviously supporting capitalists in any way is just gunna get you lynched

    Downvotes don't mean much here anyway. Someone else is heavily downvoted in this thread for simply pointing out I'm not a man. The users who enjoy watching death videos don't like their circle-jerking over dead people interrupted with any sort of kindness or care for others.

    How long are you going to watch election after election, the dems stall until Republicans get to power again, before you realize that no, you cannot vote them out?

    They are always looking out for their own interests, when will you realize that?

    Billionaires are like a hydra.

    so that we don't keep breeding people like billionaires.

    Have you met billionaires? I have. They're just normal ass parents but with more money and less morals. They want us to fight the system because that's how they keep hoarding their wealth and passing it down.

    Billionaires by in large, inherit their money from billionaire/millionaire parents.
