I don’t know why you’re so interested in defending the extreme privilege of people who have more money that you and the next thousand people you will meet several times over but enjoy it.
I don’t understand why people feel such a need to defend and worship those who have the most in our society while there are people who die from starvation/exposure/lack of healthcare in what is allegedly the greatest country on earth.
- f430 6y agoI don't understand why you think upholding free market capitalism so personally. Just because someone has more money than me doesn't mean they are deserving less or more than you and me.
- hellotomyrars 6y agoWe don't have free market capitalism. Markets are highly regulated for both good (health, safety) and bad (anti-competitive (as in allowing effective monopoly/price-fixing to occur) reasons. It certainly doesn't read to me like you think everyone is equally deserving when you're venerating those who have obscene wealth. It especially doesn't read that way when you're being intellectually dishonest by tacitly suggesting that providing the basic necessities to continue to exist is implicitly tied to failed/failing nation-states.
