    The problem is that Taylor Swift is the only billionaire that I see other leftists simping for. Anyone can say Musk bad and expect a lot of agreement and absolutely no meaningful discussion. If you think there’s no such thing as a good billionaire, but you make exceptions for ones that make music that you like, you need to reflect on why you feel the things you feel. Are you actually morally opposed to billionaires, or do you just personally not like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos?


  • is it our opinion

    You have a brain, you should probably use it. How do you feel about billionaire entertainers?

    I’ll use a metaphor to describe my feeling. It’s not a dragon’s fault if gold simply continues to fall on its hoard, but it is that dragon’s fault if it continues to greedily hoard that gold instead of redistributing what it doesn’t need to people who need it.








  • I’m confused. Are you blocking users that harass you, or communities where they’re talking amongst themselves? Because like. Ofc they’re going to talk about veganism in a community centered around veganism, and they’re gonna react poorly when you barge in complaining about them. That’s like saying chess players are particularly annoying because they don’t like hearing how much chess sucks on /r/chess

    I know that reading is hard for communists, but

    A few non-French veterans and American merchants, along with some useful professionals such as priests and doctors, were spared. Those who failed the triple test of skin color, citizenship and vocation were simply wiped out

    Is pretty straightforward. What do you think Dessalines meant when he pledged “to kill every Frenchman who soils the land of Freedom with his sacrilegious presence?”

    And I hope you quit dancing around the fact that they killed far more than just slavers. Like I’ve already said, I support killing slave owners just as much as I support killing monarchs.

    The black slaves were literally enslaved by the people they executed.

    Not the women and children and poor that they murdered. What part of “indiscriminate slaughter” do you not understand? Race has literally nothing to do with it. Genocide is bad even if a black person does it. Genocide is bad even if the victims share a nationality with slave owners.

    Again, I cannot believe that I’m arguing in favor of not murdering innocent people, and I’m the fucking bad guy here

    I don’t necessarily support everything that every French revolutionary did, but I do support beheading monarchs. Given my earlier statement that genocide is indeed always bad, can you guess what my stance is regarding any genocides that any French people were engaged in during the revolution?

    What you asked was “I take it you condemn the French revolution for abolishing monarchy through guillotines?” The answer is no, I do not condemn the French revolution for that particular thing.
