I will absolutely judge people based on their class. You don't come to obtain and maintain massive wealth without being an absolute shit person

What you are doing, by taking that position, is just subscribing to the current social model. That's not even a criticism; it's joining the band wagon.

Let's say you have a big success tomorrow and you manage to amass a great fortune. Are you going to give it away? Are you going to do something with your newly found wealth to truly change something for better?

The top three wealth holders in the planet are there because people allowed it. Facebook was just so groudbreaking, so innovative, so useful to connect to people. Amazon is just so convenient, so easy to use. And electric cars never existed before.

They were enabled and still are by the same people that cry today against them. If the notion of true equality really existed, the moment those individuals started becoming too big, people would remove trust and start demanding them to do good, tangible good, for others.

Yes??? Of course I would?

Ohhhh, you're a capitalist

That's literally what myself and many others are doing? Except in my opinion they are evil until they intentionally drop their net worth to the single digit millions and transfer their companies to the workers who actually made them what they are today

Lmao, I'm an anarchist, not a liberal on a band wagon
