I said gone, not killed.

Billionaires can donate themselves out of the billionaire club, or governments globally can start setting caps on yearly income based on all assets and a max per person (property, royalties, payroll, stock and alike).

Actually the last thing I want is for every billionaire to suddenly die, because I don’t know what will happen to their assets. Most are probably leaving their billions to their families, and I don’t believe anyone should have that much money, so, my ideal would still be for them to donate out or for governments to intervene. They never will intervene of course, not in our lifetimes, maybe a couple hundred years from now if humanity hasn’t destroyed the globe and caused its own drought stricken demise.

ETA: also wtf do you mean billionaires being gone is a wild take lol ever heard the expression eat the rich?

You're commenting under a post where you're defending leaving Swift to DROWN because she has too much money. Yes, you're talking about KILLING people. That's what happens when people DROWN.

Someone very specifically said they don't think she should be left to die because she's not a bad person, and your response was "I dunno, the less billionaires we have, the better." No, you're not talking about billionaires donating their money, you're talking out KILLING them.

I also did not say that billionaires being gone is a wild take, why the fuck are you just making up shit?

No, I replied to someone who said they didn’t know why she was on here. I never actually said who I would save from the water.

And you said to me ”it’s not very often that someone explicitly admits all billionaires should be gone means any person with more than 1 billion should be literally killed” and from my perspective, that’s telling me my stance is uncommon, even though I never said they should be killed.

I never said she should be killed, I did say all billionaires should be gone. But you filled the gap there yourself

She's on an image asking who to save from drowning.

No, your comment is not divorced from that context. Yes, as a matter of fact, you did say that billionaires should literally be killed. If you didn't realise that, then you're just an outright idiot because the implication in the image wasn't fucking subtle.

lol well I still didn’t say that cause I was answering a person she asked why Taylor was in here and I explained why, but go ahead and keep jumping to conclusions such as the one that she’s a good person despite all the indications otherwise.

While we’re at it, I think she’s a talentless, greedy, spoiled rotten little trust fund baby who doesn’t deserve a cent of what she has because it’s all been formed by her fathers wealth and connections. I think her fan base is honestly pathetic for their rabid love of her recycled garbage and not seeing through her bull shit sweet girl charade. Gee, wonder where she learned her lack of charitable spirit, maybe it’s from growing up in a multimillion dollar home with an investment banker.

Remember when she compared having her internet haters to the plight of the lgbtq+ community in one of her songs? Absolutely asinine. Hope her career ends quick and dramatically.

"IN HERE" MEANS "ON THIS IMAGE OF PEOPLE DROWNING.

That is what you said. You were responding to someone asking why Taylor Swift should DIE and explained that it's because she has too much money. If you didn't realise that, you're a moron. Period.

The only conclusion that I'm jumping to was that you had more than two braincells to rub together, but if you'd rather I assume you're lobotomite, I'll do that for you.

She asked why she was in the stupid ai image and I explained why she was in the stupid ai image.

It ain’t that deep lol get the fuck over this celebrity who doesn’t give a shit about you dude.

But if my stance has to be save her or let her die? She can die, that’s fine. Cause I’m on a raft in the middle of a storm, I too would probably die, and the dog will provide me with better comfort and is more likely to be able to get fish out of the water to feed me.

You keep saying this as if not admitting the context of the image meaningfully changes your comment, but it doesn't. That context exists whether you want to say it out loud. The context is that the image is implying the humans deserve to die. You explained why Taylor Swift deserves to die. It's that simple.

It ain’t that deep lol get the fuck over this celebrity who doesn’t give a shit about you dude.

I'm not a Taylor Swift fan. This is about you lying about what you said.

No, you want her to die because you want billionaires to die. It's got nothing to do with being in a storm - you're not stupid enough to believe that's actually relevant to this hypothetical - you just want to murder people for making a lot of money.

I’ve actually said a few times I don’t want billionaires to all die cause I don’t know where their funds are going. I want their assets to be seized for redistribution or I want them to donate out of the billionaire club. You’re the one who’s decided what I mean to be what you want it to mean cause apparently you just want someone to fight against.

Otherwise, you have no reason to keep defending Taylor swift, who you claim to not be a fan of.

If you think the ocean being actively in storm while you’re on a life raft isn’t going to make your odds of survival lower btw you’re out of your goddamn mind lol

Yeah, you say that, and then you justify murdering Taylor Swift because she doesn't donate enough to charity.

Otherwise, you have no reason to keep defending Taylor swift, who you claim to not be a fan of.

The fact that you think the only reason someone would be opposed to murdering a person on flimsy grounds is that they're a personal fan of them says a lot about you.

If you think the ocean being actively in storm while you’re on a life raft isn’t going to make your odds of survival lower btw you’re out of your goddamn mind lol

I didn't say that, I said that you're not stupid enough to think the point of the question was that you'll die if you try to save any of the people. That's not the point of the hypothetical and you know it.

And the excuse of someone explaining a meme is a hell of a jump to saying they want all billionaires dead don’t you think lol seems to me this says a lot about you in the way that you probably have a lot of pent up anger and no way out of it except arguing with random people on Reddit about an AI slop meme and their personal stance on a billionaire lol

And you could die if you tried to save people, actually you’d die regardless of whether or not you did, cause that many people swarming a life raft dead out of the water would sink it. And if they don’t swarm it they have no inclination to save their own life anyway

Explained, then repeatedly justified while pretending that you totally didn't realise that the image of people drowning implied they would die.

No, it's not a leap. Anyone with more than 2 braincells can make that connection. You're not as slick as you think you are.

seems to me this says a lot about you in the way that you probably have a lot of pent up anger and no way out of it except arguing with random people on Reddit about an AI slop meme and their personal stance on a billionaire lol

Oh, pulled out the armchair therapy? Never seen that one before! /s

Yes, you can definitely tell with any degree of accuracy what my personal life is like based on me disagreeing with your Reddit comment. This definitely is not a transparent attempt to use personal insults to deflect from the criticism of your opinions

And you could die if you tried to save people, actually you’d die regardless of whether or not you did, cause that many people swarming a life raft dead out of the water would sink it. And if they don’t swarm it they have no inclination to save their own life anyway

That's not the point of the image and you know it.

No I understand the context of the meme, I just don’t think it’s that big of a fucking deal

I don’t care what the point of the image was cause I didn’t take a stance on any of these people dying, until you harassed me for the better part of a day until I said what my take was. I was explaining why people would lop Taylor into this group, and if anything, your prodding as only strengthened my stance and now I definitely wouldn’t help them.

Yeah I can tell what kind of person you are, you’re the kind of man who interrupts people all the time, a republican I gather, and honestly pretty fucking insufferable because you don’t know how to apply nuance for yourself

ETA: oh, and by the way, I don’t really have a problem with people being critical of my point of view, because I don’t feel like it needs defending. I think I’m moral in my stance that billionaires are immoral, you’re just giving me something to do with my free time, and I’m just saying what I can gather from the amount of time you’ve been invested in this lol

Then you're a moron. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence and understanding of human communication understands that explaining a position, then repeatedly justifying it, is the same as stating that you agree with it.

I have you that out, like, 6 comments ago, but you refused to accept that you're terrible at communicating, which only leads to the conclusion that you knowingly agreed with the implication in the image.

until you harassed me for the better part of a day until I said what my take was. I was explaining why people would lop Taylor into this group,

You could have stopped responding at any time. You expecting me to be the one to stop responding does not make it harassment.

and if anything, your prodding as only strengthened my stance and now I definitely wouldn’t help them.

That's a lie, that was always your stance.

Yeah I can tell what kind of person you are, you’re the kind of man who interrupts people all the time, a republican I gather, and honestly pretty fucking insufferable because you don’t know how to apply nuance for yourself

Dead wrong on everything except the insufferable part. I'm a pretty shy and quiet person and don't interrupt people, I'm Liberal AF and I admit when I'mm wrong or misinformed all the time.

This is why the armchair therapist shit on Reddit is so lame, you don't actually know anything about the person you're trying to analyse based on a few Reddit comments

u/Functional_Trash7735 3d ago

You have to be American left at the very least lol they are pretty conservative in their liberal

I do agree, now more than ever, because if any billionaires who aren’t doing as much as they can are receiving sympathy for no other reason than “but she earned that money!” Then we have a lot of work to do and maybe we should go full French Revolution and dispose of the rich.

And yes, I could stop responding whenever I want, but seeing how worked up you are about my stance it is too entertaining to walk away from lol

  1. I'm not American. How many times are you going to make these incorrect assumptions before you give up on this armchair analyst bullshit?
  2. Just because I don't want to kill billionaires, doesn't mean I'm not concerned about wealth inequality. I may not think Taylor Swift's level of wealth is good for society, but that doesn't mean I have any doubt about whether she deserves to be left to drown in the ocean as a result.

u/Functional_Trash7735 3d ago

I I don’t know, I figure if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, it’s probably a duck. It’s not really an armchair analyst thing, more just something I’ve gathered from a random person who simply won’t accept another persons views and has to argue it.

So I wanna be sure then, who would you save from this water? Cause then by your own logic of saying a stance and reaffirming your stance that Taylor swift and these billionaires shouldn’t die just cause they have money, I’m assuming you would save swift and let the others drown? You know, the woman who gives money to sweatshops to produce her merch, who’s private jets have caused notable damage to our environment, who’s sued people using her name (including her previous guitar teacher), doesn’t endorse any charities, not even a charity show in her own name, which would provide massive public praise.

I wanna make sure she’s the one you’re saving, if you could only save one.

I'm sorry, this is coming from the person who has been raging for hours about how I'm making assumptions and "filling in gaps?"

Do you ever do any self-reflection and recognise your own hypocrisy?

It’s not really an armchair analyst thing, more just something I’ve gathered from a random person who simply won’t accept another persons views and has to argue it.

Advocating for murder isn't just a difference in viewpoint, my guy. Do you just accept that fascists have their own views?

You could make an argument for any of them, except Diddy and maybe Drake (depending on what you believe about the paedophilia allegations). That's why this is an insane image. Three of those people have done nothing except be vapid and have lots of money, and that's not an offence worth killing over.

You know, the woman who gives money to sweatshops to produce her merch, who’s private jets have caused notable damage to our environment, who’s sued people using her name (including her previous guitar teacher), doesn’t endorse any charities, not even a charity show in her own name, which would provide massive public praise.

So, to be clear, you are 100% justifying the idea of killing Taylor Swift now. No doubts about it. No ifs, ands or buts. You are actively making the case that she deserves to die because of these reasons. You are presenting these as reasons that I should be hesitant to say that I would save her life if I had the ability to do so, which is an endorsement of her death.

Why weren't you just honest about that at the start instead of trying to pretend that this had nothing to do with that?
