        Insightful comments.

        Glad the propaganda isn’t affecting people.

        I thought people would jump on this anti billionaire post.

        But your right, it’s trying to incite class war.

          What’s wrong with being anti-billionaire?

          If a dragon were hoarding all the gold in your village and leaving the villagers to get fucked, would you be pro-dragon?

          (Yeah it’s a Terry Pratchett novel.)

            But that’s the point, They’re not hoarding ALL the gold, your point is based in hyperbolie and is ridiculous.

            We have a lot in this day and age.

            Food, shelter, international travel, computers, cars, global internet etc etc

            And making the argument that we have nothing and they have everything is absurd.

          Ah yes, it is well known that those fighting back against oppression are in fact the ones inciting war!

          Daddy Husk isn’t going to see you defending him and whisk you away to his castle dear, and you might actually choke if you suck that boot any harder, looks from here like the wannabe edgelord schtick isn’t really paying off… 🤣

          Horseshit. A few thousand billionaires doesn’t constitute a “class” in a world of billions of people. That’s not a matter of “class,” it’s a fucking oligarchy.

        This is why you have to make sure your depression is stronger than your nihilism. Your “I don’t matter” needs to be bigger than your “nothing else matters”. Subscribe for more useful tips!

      1. People say that because they don’t know what it feels like. Basically, they’re projecting

      2. Technically one can argue fairly that it doesn’t exist, but that argument would be about semantics. Doing something good for others at the expense of yourself either because it feels good to do, or because somewhere in your brain you think there will be good karma or a celestial reward, well… maybe those aren’t truly “altruism”, but can anybody tell the goddamned difference in the grand scheme of things?
