It's just something I've noticed as these discussions started yesterday, a bunch of people defending a multiple yachts owner while also pretending to hate the rich in other discussions.

There are no good billionaires, it's that simple. If someone became one it was done through exploiting people that are just trying to make it through life. You've got people saying they "hope to be able to retire at some point" also defending Valve by gaslighting themselves into thinking that they get their money's worth when buying on Steam. Well, no, people just think they do because they were conditioned to believe that their money is worth a whole lot less than it really is in order to enrich people like Gaben.

These people aren't on your side, if they were they wouldn't be billionaires in the first place, they're on their own side and just want to become richer and richer.

And I mean...
