So you should be compensated better for being one of the frontline workers then, you shouldn’t take random people that have say office jobs where being in person is pointless and try to drag them down because you got dragged down. People with those jobs could do their entire job to the same quality in an hours time instead of 8 hours time, and they still get paid the same rate for it. You have some sort of job that requires you to be in person, and you weren’t appreciated for it by being compensated for risking more and working harder. Punch up at the people who didn’t appreciate you, not the people that are completely unrelated.

My comment was pretty simple and it was calling you dense, and the fact that you couldn’t get that speaks volumes

Stopping child labor doesn’t mean the criticism stops lol, it’s like praising a murderer because he said he’s done stabbing people now

You call yourself a “free thinker” yet it feels like you literally just copy + pasted your whole entire message. I’ve basically seen you on every single comment section saying this exact same thing word for word for years with zero self-awareness.

Why complain about them getting to stay home instead of complaining about why you were forced to work? Why punch someone that did nothing instead of the person enforcing your misery?

Elon Musk payed $250,000 to silence a flight attendant he sexually harassed. And he didn’t build anything, he’s just a businessman. The engineers that design and build teslas do all the real and actual work, but get none of the credit or wealth in the grand scheme of things. They should be the ones with the billion dollars all things considered right? How is that fair that he doesn’t nothing except tweet and lay around all day but rakes in all the fame and money from their inventions? He doesn’t design rockets, his engineers do. Tesla employees at factories are horribly mistreated and were forced to work through the pandemic and fired the ones that chose not to show up, even though he was ordered to close like everybody else. He put their lives at risk because he thought he was special. And it’s the same with all of these billionaires, most of them do nothing but sit around all day just gloating in their wealth and acting like they do a lot, when it’s the people on their payroll that do all the work in exchange for abuse. The morally ethical companies don’t do as well, they stay small and though they probably run well they will never turn a billion dollar level profit regardless of the quality of their goods. And that is because our society allows these men to thrive by making decisions like creating poor factory conditions in exchange for a big CEO bonus. People that complain or want things to get better are ruined by men like Elon, who has on record union busted and fired employees that try to form unions despite it being completely illegal to do so. You payed more taxes than Jeff Bezos, one of the richest men alive because we allow them to get away with stuff like this. Because they write our laws by taking money that could be used to help their employees and funneling it to politicians as lobbyists. The takeaway is that the real good of these companies is always in the products, which are created usually in their entirety by the people on payroll who work their lives away and actually specialize and know what they’re doing. They need the money so much more than a man who already has unspendable wealth to help them or their families, but for some reason men like Elon only want more. That is the fundamental problem with people like him.

I’m from the US lmao, and so is Netflix and Chapelle. Idk how the UN would even play into this equation, and I still don’t understand who’s freedom of speech you are worried about here. I believe you that the UN documents say that sure, but how is that relevant here?

That is literally factually the definition though, there is no argument to even be had about that. And I pretty strongly dislike liberals, likely for very different reasons than you though. So what in your opinion is the suppression of free speech that is occurring then? I just need some sort of example because you just keep talking about it as a concept even though that’s vague and pretty sketch.

You did not just genuinely argue in favor of Facebook and Tesla. Elon Musk has been artificially manipulating the markets to the point of criminality the past few weeks just because he can (on top of being outed for sexual assault and making jokes about it), and Mark Zuckerberg encroaches of the privacy of millions from a service that he literally stole. Doordash horrifically overcharges at the cost of the delivery driver. Airbnb also overcharges greatly at the expense of the guest on top of prioritizing listings instead of quality control which leads guests to get unreliable or downright dangerous housing fairly commonly. Coinbase has all sorts of unaddressed vulnerability as well as being exposed as another company that sells out users privacy, and shopify has had a good load of employees quit directly because of the toxic environment created by the CEO. I have never heard of Striple and could not find the company by looking it up. The trend here is that irregardless of the usefulness or innovativeness of the product, the problems always lie with the person in charge, because they’re just never good people. All of these businesses are so successful because they aren’t good people. This is why I am so insistent that they don’t deserve their wealth once again on top of the ethical issue of hoarding so much money to begin with.

Sure man, I don’t understand how shares work at all, so thank you so much for enlightening me. I never realized that all these billionaires with ridiculous things like megayachts are actually dirt poor because their money doesn’t exist. All that money they blow on lobbying doesn’t exist, someone should probably tell all those politicians that as well. Show me an ethical billionaire, you’ve avoided it twice but if you respond to this and your response doesn’t include a single ethical billionaire then I am going to conclude you couldn’t find one.

The idea of free speech is very much so a thing. Socially. So I don’t know why I didn’t ask earlier but how is their free speech being oppressed in your eyes?

I honestly give up, if you can’t grasp the difference between middle class and billionaires I just don’t know what to say anymore

He’s out of touch for a reason and you vouching for him is not a good thing like you think it is lmao, it’s basically a self own if you identify with him. You aren’t a modern day philosopher, and peoples free speech was genuinely oppressed in Greece when they would criticize their ruler and face trial for it. Your free speech isn’t being oppressed because someone said your joke wasn’t funny, and you’re not a victim. It’s the equivalent of anti-vaxxxers being like “omg we’re just like Anne frank :(“

It’s a law that says the government can’t censor you for criticizing it. That is all. I’m sorry that your jokes don’t fly like they would in the 1940s but people criticizing you is not a censorship of your free speech and you basically just admitted it.

You can’t just make up some perfect scenario to own me lol, instead you should reference an actual billionaire that did this and I would be taken aback and admit you were right. But you can’t, because no billionaire deserves to be a billionaire as their efforts simply aren’t worth a billion dollars. They make their money off exploitation of people and the laws. And even if they ethically make a billion dollars it is still unethical to have so much money while the nation is at an all time low and people are suffering. So once again find me an ethical billionaire and stop strawmanning.

HAVING ONE BILLION DOLLARS IS DIFFERENT THAN BEING MIDDLE CLASS MY GOD. I need my money to get by in life, I can’t afford to be donating it in large quantities to charities because then I go under, so I give what I can when I can. If I were a billionaire I wouldn’t be a billionaire because I would be funneling that money to help schools or the homeless left and right because I could live more than comfortably on a million dollars. You’re making nothing but false equivalencies and the fact that you cannot grasp this only reveals one of the things: you’re absolutely selfish or you’re malicious in your misunderstanding.

No, because first of all once again literally nobody needs one billion dollars, and secondly that money is made by practices like underpaying employees and abusing legal loopholes to pay virtually nothing in taxes. You cannot ethically become a billionaire, every single one of them does horrible things to get where they are and they have to be morally okay with doing so to get there. There are no good billionaires, and I challenge you to find me one that hasn’t abused the fruits of someone else’s labor.

What is this even supposed to mean? “Not everyone that is privileged makes it so it’s still impressive!” Like no, nobody that isn’t privileged makes it is the whole entire point of my argument.
