Having robbed the world for decades, and having personally solidified a rapacious system, these people are responsible for a lot of past and future misery, ranging from missed opportunities to death and disease.
I’m not sure if being a billionaire necessarily means all of those things. I know some that are actually doing good stuff for the people, like Mark Cuban. Is he perfect? Probably not, but he’s doing something about a real issue that was screwing a lot of people in the US.
I don’t know. I don’t know how all billionaires in the world have acquired their capital. I do know that the most relevant ones, like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos have exploited workers, but I don’t know if this can be generalized. Do you?
All of them have acquired their capital in the exact same way, by exploiting in the worker class. It’s impossible to gather 1 billion dollars any other way.
To me, the act of amassing all that wealth is a crime by itself. It is the accumulation of countless (small and big) transactions in which you could have shared the value more equally, and decided not to. You could have paid your employees more, and decided not to. You could have made your product/service more affordable (to more people) and you decided not to. After having accumulated a certain amount of wealth, I think such decisions are immoral.
Only ones that deserve any kind of sympathy is the 19 year old son who didn’t wanna go but went anyways for his rich ass dad since it was father’s day and the titanic expert dude that just wanted to explore. The other 3 were rich jackasses who thought they were invincible or some shit.

This reminds me of something Alan Watts said in a lecture once about the three social classes and there perspectives on time:
“The Aristocracy who live completely in the past— they are like potatoes, the better part of them are in the ground”
famous Watts Chuckle
Come on guys, we’re better than this.
Come on guys, we’re above this.
We should better to who deserves it. If they express themselves in a obnixously prideful way, well…
I’m with you on this one. I love dark humor but this one just seems like hateful humor. If it is inspired by hate, I’m no longer on that boat.
Feels like “the only good commie is a dead commie. HAHAHA” but opposite.

No one becomes a billionaire working.
You become a billionaire by exploiting the worker class.

Why is it impossible to get this rich without taking advantage of other people?
Many successful businesses don’t exploit their employees.
There are no ethical billionaires. It is not possible to obtain that kind of economic power without consciously exploiting others.

We’re literally better since they’re deep down under.
Fuck’em.

Haha murder is funny
It’s a reference to the recent OceanGate implosion.
disagree, billionaires are salty deep down.
To eat.
12000ft deep to be exact.
Whatever sinks your Titan
We should be nice, they are all under so much pressure.
They hit rock bottom.
Stop being so harsh, they’re gonna be crushed.
Death doesn’t make them good tho
But you could argue, that it has a positive effect.
The billions didn’t sink, it’s just some regular humans down there.
this is so dark, I am stunned lmfao
Thats… deep.
Titan was an expedition to find a billionaires heart
