    Somewhere out there is some very nice animated graphs showing just how big a billionaires wealth is. It’s still too big to be properly comprehended…

        That just blows my mind. These people could go down in history as some of the greatest human beings to ever live, having used their wealth to eradicate disease and poverty for all. Instead they just…hoard it. Why the fuck do they do that? Like I honestly start to doubt these people are human at this point. Their obscene wealth isn’t just obscene, it’s absurd. They could literally do anything with that money and they just…don’t do anything with it at all. I don’t even have the words to describe how monstrous they must be. Even if they didn’t want to help people, they still don’t do anything with their money beyond just trying to accrue more of it. How the fuck can they exist?

          Considering they can hire skilled authors to write their biographies (and skilled lawyers to sue critics) they certainly will write their own entry in the history books

    Pretty accurate description of the type. Pretty sure I’ve seen folks over at lemmy use this very “argument”, dead serious

      I’ve seen them use this argument when they get lost and wander over here too. How does the phrase go? “Ask an anti-communist why they hate communism and they’ll describe capitalism.”
