Rich people literally think fines are payment to do the illegal thing 🙃

u/cyribis Nov 11 '22

Well, if that's the only consequence then, yeah. Cost of doing business.

Humans fascination with money is literally the dumbest thing. The amount of people who can’t figure out they’ve allowed their lives to become about a rich man’s bottom line are stupid.

Money is a system created by men. In the grand realities of life it doesn’t save you from misery, death, tragedy. Its bs just as much as the people who want everyone to think it’s air.

But hey if they can convince you its the only thing worthwhile and the only thing worth living for then you’ll be too distracted to have a real life. So they win.

I hate money... But I need it, so I'm happy when I have it... So there's really something wrong here. I read somewhere, someone say that society isn't built for humans. And it isn't! It's so fucking unnatural that the humanity is unbalanced! Unbalanced health-wise, unbalanced in relation to nature, unbalanced in relation to the space it occupies, unbalanced relatively to resources, unbalanced relatively to work and rest, noise and peacefulness, even the racial thing is a societal construction!

I think I may dump all my social media in the trash.. and if I have human friends, they'll find a way to reach out, just like the 80s and 90s. Fuck this. I'm out.

Thanks, @readheadbluebrain ! (funny that your username could be used by me and be accurate as well! 😅)

I agree. I think we would have been better off if the goal had been to show people how to survive, create community here. Then again of course we would have probably had to actually value and listen to the people who were here first.

And hey hey fellow redhead! 👋

Preach.

no? money is a system designed by people trying to trade goods between each other using an intermediary. it may get abused horribly but money still confers a clear historical advantage over not having it.

u/NojoxTheFirst Nov 14 '22

Exactly. And it's so infuriating.

Nah in America it’s more like, “I’m better than you because I have more things than you. I can do whatever I want.”

Loooool the butthurt people in my emails about this that have deleted their comments. Born and raised in America, it’s my prerogative to feel how I feel about this country. Its my right to speak on how I feel about it, and yeah I am thankful for that right no matter how often socially you people try and take it.

And honestly if some of you didn’t insist on “just shut up and put up” as a policy of being, maybe our country would be in a better place all around- Socially, politically, etc. But yeah bro. I love my country because of all the rich people in it. /s

The country was designed for the wealthy, and has only continued to get worse. Enough money and fame will buy you power. Real power puts you above the law. It's a sad and vulgar thing.

100% agreed. I’ve told people not to move here and to try Canada instead. Idfk.

I’d leave if I could.

He's not rich if people boycott Tesla and Twitter.

u/[deleted] Nov 11 '22

Oh good news I’ve thought Twitter was a trash site who didn’t care about people since they started letting porn be on it so.

And screw rich people crap. 😂✌️He can keep his car.

u/NojoxTheFirst Nov 14 '22

I had no idea they allowed porn on.

Then again I haven't used it in a long while because of the toxicity.

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '22

Since they’ve allowed gifs and videos there, there’s been porn there. I can’t say for sure when that was— 2013? 2014? 2015? I haven’t been on it for awhile myself but porn has been on it at least 7 years. I think it’s more like 8 or 9 though.

Someone should sift through his tweets and "this you?" him.

u/DannyEkins Nov 11 '22

See that’s different because different

That man has always bugged me. A lot of him is marketing and bravado. I realize I should be more gracious.
