That’s the kind of fight I’d like to have though. A good thing to stand up for.
I could also probably be fired for things i say on the internet with my real name, but i think it’s worth standing against that kind of thing and not being afraid of it even though it’s entirely possible. (I do on occasion say things which are very much not well thought out, rude, just to trigger good discussion, or because I’ve had too much wine or am feeling ornery… in other words I’m not ashamed to be human)
- mensetmanusman 4y agoEven billionaires like LeBron James are afraid, I doubt there is hope for the little guys.
- fzil 4y agothey are afraid because their yachts are on the line
- depereo 4y agoThey're afraid because their future, even larger yachts are on the line. If they stopped working tomorrow they'd be rich for the rest of their lives. Just not 'even richer'.
- filoleg 4y agoLittle guys don't have their mansions paid for with the money coming from China. So it makes perfect sense they would be less afraid than LeBron. They have less to lose here, and a way less likely chance to actually lose anything at all due to this.
- hef19898 4y agoAll those rich celebrities are not afraid of China per se, or any other rich totalitarian regime (the World Cup in Qatar comes to mind), they are just too corrupt to care about anything else then their huge pay checks. The same for companies so. Makes sense, if you think about it. because it is just peak capitalism, unchecked by anything else then the need for money (the best approximation for power the west has).
