Billionaires are allowed to live in society, I think it is fair however that we take issue that their attempts to bring about a violent right-wing ultra-nationalist revolution. It sort of feels like they’re taking free will a bit too far.
Comment on Tommy Robinson says Elon Musk is paying his legal costs as trial begins
rah@hilariouschaos.com 3 weeks agoThis is to be expected. You yourself are trying to manipulate society with your comment.
What would be surprising is if billionaires didn’t attempt to manipulate society in their interests.

Allowed to live sure but I’d argue they shouldn’t be allowed to exist as billionaires.
that kind of wealth is just immoral, unreasonable by the scale of human’s lifetime, and exploitative by nature.

No, they’re the ones who allow, not the ones who are allowed.

At this point I have no idea what you’re trying to say with any of your comments. All of the words individually make sense and even the sentences are valid, but the end result don’t form into a coherent thought.

To “allow” a thing means that some actor has the power to give or deny permission for the thing. There are no actors who have the power to deny permission for there to be billionaires in society. Indeed, billionaires are the category of actors who have more power to give or deny permission than any other category.

Damn, I didn’t realize our comments on a random lemmy instance have the same power as Elon Musk’s billions.

I didn’t comment on scale of impact, only intent.

Scale is everything here. That the problem.
