I think that's narrow-minded but maybe I'm being naive. As neither one of us are in that position we can only continue to speculate. But until major actor throws their weight behind a union they are effectively a part of the owner class. You can't have 100 million dollars and not be a part of the owning class, at some point you stop being a worker and I think that amount is when you no longer have to work while still having a good life (like 5 mil). If the options were keep it or lose it to the owners, you're right keeping it is the better option.

I agree and respect that perspective. I think it's true. I'm just interested in pointing out progressives (or people who want wealth inequality to go down) should reflect on if someone getting 100 million is a good thing or a bad thing. 100 million out of the owner's pockets is good, but if all that does is create another hundred millionaire owner then we have to judge that person based on their actions moving forward on if it was a net good or net bad.

This really isn't a hard concept to understand, I don't know why you're struggling and reaching for shortcut approximations of who I am as a person to grasp this. Do you cheer when another billionaire is made? When Elon Musk became a trillionaire did you cheer? What is the difference between that and cheering when a multi-millionaire becomes a hundred millionaire? It's weird that you think I'm "the crab mentality manifest" when it's an owning class person becoming more wealthy and therefore a part of the owning class.

I want everyone everywhere to make +100k, I cheer for my friends and the random people I encounter online when they get a job or get a windfall or begin to gain some wealth. This isn't that, this is a fundame ntally ultra wealthy person getting more ultra wealthy and I'm even conceiting that I actually have no qualms with what he acquired or how he acquired it I'm just simply stating it's weird were cheering for people who we don't know as good, progressive people getting the very thing that could continue to oppress people.

At some point the person benefiting from the system either influences the system to improve or becomes a part of the oppressing system. Idk why you're struggling with that as if Tom Holland earned every dollar of that 1000 family salary in a year and is a shining example of a worker breaking free of their chains. The goal isn't every individual gets rich and breaks their chains, the goal is we collectively stop making and applying chains to begin with - we collectively and systemically stop requiring people to get filthy rich to have a good life.

You seem to have missed the ml instance. You should stick together to make it easier to block this insanity.
