What did he do this time?
Apparently nothing OP cannot say a single thing.
Not OP, but he's a billionaire. There is no such thing as an ethical billionaire. No amount of work they have done would earn billions.
Not really his fault he is a billionaire. He was an immigrant kid who washed dishes and bused tables til he went to college. He worked his way up and started one of the most successful companies in the world.
You can hate the system but you don't need to hate every person in it.
I didn't say I hated him. Point where I did? My critque isn't about him specifically, it is a critque on a broader topic.
I didn't claim to know where he came from, his life, none of that.
What Is being posited is that billionaires are unethical, they should not exit. This I'd a direct commentary of my disgust with the systems that be.
Move along.
You approved of it being okay to make up negative things about a person simply because they are a billionaire. You're saying, why fact check this meme, dude is rich so I agree with their nonsense regardless.
It is always okay to punch up, but it is silly and foolish to punch up randomly. It is a major part of mob mentality and why we are in the position we are today. It shouldn't be a surprise that billionaires use social media wharrgarbl to fight other billionaires. We literally just saw one use this tactic to influence a major election.
Okay, then criticize him for that, not over some imaginary cancelable moment...
I did criticize him for that. I wasn't the person you were "arguing" with over what he did.
It's probably to do with his spatula addiction
