    “In a world filled with rapists one who raped only a woman is less terrible than someone who raped 10.”

    Yes, no shit that he’s less terrible compared to others but he’s still one of the greediest human being on the planet and he doesn’t deserve any praise.

      What’s with this fixation on rape metaphors?

      Just gonna spell this out real quick. Having a father who made many billions trading shares is not at all similar to raping a woman.

      Additionally, there are extraordinarily few people who would not choose to be a billionaire.

      It’s easy to suggest that you’re a better person than any billionaire simply because the odds are that you (nor me, nor any of us) will ever be one. However, if the fairy god mother appeared right now and offered you $1b you would instantly become “one of the greediest human beings on the planet” by your own definition.

        People fail to realize how evil billionares are and so you have to come up with stupid comparisons. A billion in money is the equivalent of owning hundred of thousands cars or houses, they affect society negatively more than a single murderer would do. Criminality and people losing their shit is partially the result of a society where people are exploited and turn against each other to make profits. Billionares are the ones who sit on top of this rigged pyramid.

        if the fairy god mother appeared right now and offered you $1b you would instantly become “one of the greediest human beings on the planet” by your own definition.

        Any normal person that wins a billion dollar would keep some for himself and gift or donate the rest with the result that they wouldn’t be a billionare anymore. A billion is simply a ridiculous amount of money, you could buy a castle, invest 100 millions in the stock market and you would still be left with most of it.
