    If I was a billionaire, funding hate groups wouldn’t even be a thought. I’d be too busy traveling, partying and generally enjoying life.

    You have to a miserable asshole to have a billion dollars and spend money on funding hate groups.

      That’s why you’ll never be a billionaire. You cannot be a decent person and a billionaire.

      If you stopped and enjoyed yourself when you had enough money to live a lavish lifestyle for the rest of your life, you wouldn’t become a billionaire.

        For these people, it’s no longer about personal comfort or happiness anymore. It’s about chasing more power.

      Counterpoint, if you’re a Billionaire you probably subscribe to the idea of class warfare and that it’s your civic duty to fuck the poors. Keep donating money to causes that keep the poor eating themselves and not the wealthy.

      You won’t become a billionaire with that kind of positive attitude.

      Something tells me having a billion dollars is miserable. Probably extremely isolating.

      Like don’t get me wrong, I’d love my financial burdens to be a thing of the past. But at a certain level of wealth, the money itself is burdensome.

      Yeah I’d probably be dumping money into creating a more equal and sustainable society while helping friends live a nice life

      IMO, enjoying things come at being a millionaire; a certain je nais se quois gets lost with being a billionaire, no matter how much they chase it down.

    This is why billionaires should not exist. Expressing my true feelings towards them would probably get me banned on world so I’ll leave it at that.

    Some chud I used to see regularly: “Blackrock is funding WOKE in the movies in order to change pubic opinion!!!”

    Meanwhile, actual conservative billionaires:

        I’m saving this one, hell yeah, I love it. That chud was absolutely obsessed with Joe Rogan, acting like that guy was the new messiah, all while he went on and on about “the corrupting influence of media from America”. It drove me up the wall…

    Damn his wiki doesn’t really describe anything he did to become a millionaire, except for being born is a good family. That’s really all it takes huh?

    On the other hand, great to see these donations have already been added to his page. Fuck this guy and everything around him.
