San Francisco's pro-billionaire march draws dozens
- gbnwl 9mo agoWonder if it was more or less than the crowd that showed up for last week’s NeverNude protest. I remember them numbering in the dozens too.

- mekdoonggi 9mo agoI genuinely thought this was ironic. Was it not? I cannot understand why anyone would do this. It took millennia of human torment to come to the conclusion that political power should be distributed, because it is a human right. Wealth similarly compels actions, so billionaire-level wealth is inherently unjust. We've completely circled back to feudalism, just wrapped in a cardboard box with ad that says 'freedom'. And then you've got doofuses protesting in favor? I don't care if there are rich people, but one person controlling the same amount of wealth as hundreds of millions of people is just wrong. Edit: millions of people not billions
- wasmainiac 9mo agoWhy is thing being downvoted? That’s why your text is greyed right?
- mekdoonggi 9mo agoYeah that's why comments go grey. People just disagree, which is their right.
- MisterTea 9mo agoDown voting simply because you disagree is a thoughtless "fuck you" to everyone trying to have a conversation. This forum encourages "thoughtful conversation" so if you disagree you should discuss why you disagree. Down voting is there to empower the community to squelch posts that are thoughtless clutter, off topic, offensive, or anything else that is disruptive to conversation.
- krunck 9mo agoYeah, it reads like an Onion headline.

- catigula 9mo agoApparently an organizer nicknamed "Aella" is wealthy. A lot of very wealthy people (another, nicknamed "Destiny", popular streamer) become ardent "liberals", or mid-level managers of inequality.
- Sabinus 9mo agoDestiny is happy to increase taxes on the wealthy, and applauds the election of Mamdani despite having doubts about some of his proposed policies. He is opposed to leftist populist policies that are economically distorting and damaging (rent control) or generally unpopular and unreasonable (defund the police).
