You're not supposed to make jokes about billionaires (you know, the people destroying the planet) getting killed because of their hubris? Okay then: I'm glad the billionaire got crushed in his imploding tin can. See? No jokes

These particular ones don't look super bad, they even took part in some nice charities from what I've read. I'm not super-sad for them, I'm just refraining from dancing on their graves. If Bill Gates died, I'd probably even open some good stuff to celebrate. I won't be sad if someone burned the Google office down with everyone inside either, but this isn't the case. They might have inherited their wealth β€” this isn't a sin IMO. Would I be able to say goodbye to the wealth I inherited just to appease the masses? Probably not.
If you have inherited your wealth and try to pretend it was your talent and hard work and tell people how to live their lives β€” that's different. In this case one can get his rectal cancer and die in pain, I don't mind.
Same with this c*sg*ns*r stuff β€” this was another dumb move of Elongated Muskrat, most of them are. But a lot of these jokes get down to making people feel ashamed just because they are the majority. I am that majority too and I do my best not to do wrong things. Should I feel ashamed for being white or being male or being straight? I don't think so. A lot of these jokes don't feel right to me. Mind you, I can't forbid you from making these jokes, no one can. I'm not even going to run around convincing people that it's wrong, but I'm not going to join this either β€” some of these jokes just borderline bad taste to me🀷

@m0xEE @eniko @wasabi inheriting a fortune is not a sin, but keeping it for yourself is immoral
being white, male or straight is not shameful, but it should make feel some shame considering what white people do, what male people do and what straight people do, even independently
you think it's bad taste to joke about some absolute shitheads that got consumed in their own hubris? then maybe you should reconsider whatever makes you align with them at all
charity is not a redeeming quality for someone rhat helps uphold the status quo that makes those charities a necessity

For some reason I don't even see this reply of yours from that instance and this one has a five hundred character limit so I had to reply to my own post: here: breloma.m0xee.net/notice/AWzJb
