Okay? I guess I'll be more specific, then. I think that it's significantly worse to say "all gay people should be beaten and murdered" than it is to say "all communists should be beaten and murdered". Both are bad, of course, but I don't know who in the gently caress would put those two things on the scales and decide that they're identically bad and deserve identical punishments.

i mean, the government of malta collapsed after it became obvious the pm was directly involved and his deputy ordered it on behalf of a yacht person. Which, frankly, was obvious from the truly insane tweets they all sent afterwards clearly bragging about it.

It was just that the pm announced he was going to resign in a year, and apparently you can't speed that process up for a government all but openly admitting to all this via the bird site

Yeah, I also don't think that poster realizes that most of us aren't familiar with this person beyond the Tiktok Bernie/boomer things (and that most people in C-SPAM are probably in our 30s and not exactly interested in someone who looks like a college student).

"Young person bragging about being a multi-millionaire" is just obviously in really bad taste. It's like someone bragging to their unemployed friend about getting a big bonus at their 6-figure job.

I know who she is based on the ok boomer thing and people in this thread having fits because she posted a video of her home. that’s not bragging. also lol you have awful friends if they wouldn’t be happy that you bought a home whether they’re unemployed or not

Your 'meritocracy' angle strongly suggests that you're putting her on a pedestal, you horny idiot.

Random Sportsman doesn't represent, "pulling back the curtain on Ersatz Leftism and seeing nothing but a rich young woman say I love shopping in baby talk."


edit: In the United States, leftism is like a tunnel painted on a wall. Try as you might, reality is not on your side. The closest thing we have is for-profit simulacra. "Ooh, outrage! A lot of money in outrage!"

But no no. Faaake. We're just jealous and horny (she's never going to gently caress you, dude).

Plus it wasn't even stolen money, it was freely given! The most you could maybe claim is that it was exploitive because the simps thought it was a transactional relationship. But that is going deep into incel logic so....

I once read someone's claim that there's a pattern of sports superstars from poorer backgrounds burning through their income and ending up destitute again in retirement because they try to support large swathes of the family/social circle that supported them. don't remember where I read it and I'm not gonna find it again and I don't know if evidence supports it. but it struck me because it's almost like there's a structural problem that their individual actions cannot solve. to me, articles celebrating such generosity are kind of like those stories about, say, some kid running a lemonade stand raising a thousand bucks to help pay for their mom's cancer treatment - good for the kid, good for the basketball player and his mom, but the surrounding situation is super hosed up if you think about it for more than two seconds
