The hatred towards rich and succesful people is one of the harder to grasp concepts I’ve been dealing with in reddit. I don’t get it. I do but I don’t.
you learn enough about the victims of capital, you start to hate the people who own it. killing them wouldn’t solve anything, but i’d still throw a party if they beefed it.
Wealth tells nothing about what one is like as a person. If you hate someone just because they’re wealthy while knowing nothing else about them then you’re no different from one that hates people because of the color of their skin. You don’t hate them because of what they do but because of who they are.
Wealth is a vague term. If we’re speaking about billionaires then I agree that there’s probably not many who have aquired their wealth without oppressing anyone else but the hate towards all wealthy people including millionaires is narrow sighted. You can be wealthy and a genuinely good person at the same time; Keanu Reeves for example. That’s why I disagree with such black and white blanket statements. It’s much more nuanced than that. You need more metrics than just wealth.
we aren’t talking about millionaires? at least i’m not. this whole thread is about billionaires why would you think we were talking about random celebrities? like maybe this argument would be relevant somewhere else but i’m genuinely confused, we’re talking about Bezos and Musk here, not actors?
I wouldn’t say it’s about how rich and successful they are, it’s more that they benefit from a system that brutalizes so many. And they’re not just participating in it, they’re actively enabling it. Hell, i don’t know about musk, but bezos had his part in shaping it.

its because elon didn’t work for his money and success, he inherited it
also Jeff besoz is a massive hypocrite, and straight up evil
Why is someone inheriting their wealth a reason to hate them? Like I said; I don’t get it.
they bad

Hating someone because they’re wealthy is no different from hating someone because they’re black or jew
