You must be one of those temporarily embarrassed billionaires.
On Lemmy? As if. Most likely just another billionaire wannabe.
i wish i was a billionaire so i could donate it to feed starving children.
If that’s what you’re passionate about (helping others) you will never be a billionaire.
They only like to pretend to do good things to try and whitewash their reputation.
good because i never want to be rich. money corrupts people.
Yet you’re not a fan of removing that corruption (cancer) from the Earth by violent means.
I wonder if you think any other means could be used to remove such people from power, as from what I can see people protest and are violently crushed, people can try political means (Bernie/Corbyn) and the media machine will come out in force to slander them, people can march but will be vilified for causing a nuisance.
It seems to me like violence is the only thing that can spur on a revolution. Hello Syria, Libya, Hamas, the Americans kicking out my country over taxes.
well Americans can do as they wish. Up here in Canada I'm just going to not condone violence.
I am not American either, they don’t have a monopoly on violence, well geo-politically they might do actually.
Anyway, as I said in the other thread I don’t judge you and was just interested in hearing another perspective, as clearly I am anti-social to some degree, so it’s interesting to hear from people who are not.
i am also anti-social. I don't get along with people because they are right wingers and think COVID was fake and blah blah.
I was referring to the anti-social personality type in which someone is not adverse to breaking laws, lying, stealing, etc. rather than id rather not socialise with people, although that is true too.
oh, i just don't talk to people much because i don't really get along with much people.
