    Life on earth isn’t going to last much longer if we tolerate these types of people

      Unfortunately a significant proportion of the population idolizes these parasites because they think they too could be billionaires if they just lick those boots hard enough.

      As long as we keep pretending conservatism is a valid political ideology, things will only get worse

        There’s nothing wrong with conserving. There’s everything wrong with whatever the fuck people who call themselves conservatives today are.

          Nah when faced with crises there is something wrong with conserving the status quo. Never mind that modern conservatives are actually regressives who want to undo past progress.

            No, I mean there’s nothing wrong with conserving non-harmful tradition, ideals, etc… It becomes an issue when that conservation hinders progress, or hurts people, the environment, or animals.

        they think they too could be billionaires if they just lick those boots hard enough.

        ‘They see themselves as temporarily-embarrassed millionaires’ is a straw man, and it’s always been a straw man. No one has ever earnestly expressed this sentiment.

      This comment, in reference to anything but parasitic sociopaths who exploit others for their own benefit, would be very troubling.

      But because this is targeted at a billionaire asswipe, I have to say I agree wholeheartedly.

      Unfortunately, people don’t usually tolerate my brand of intolerance towards people actively making the world shittier.

      A quick drop and a sudden stop pretty effectively neutralizes any future plans billionaires can make.

        Recently being swallowed by the ocean has been another method the Earth has been using to remove them as well.

      We’re already past the tipping point. Don’t have any more children.

      Maybe there’s a higher power who you will be judged by. Even if not, there is no need to be wasteful at the expense of other life.
