Charity is the oligarchy picking the winners.

So the only way bill gates can set himself apart as a billionaire is by destroying capitalism singlehandedly?

Humanity is fucked by these idiotic binary ways of thinking.

Who gives a shit about whether "Bill Gates can set himself apart as a billionaire?" That's a moot point because he shouldn't have become a billionaire to begin with.

I care that moronic ways of thinking discount the good done with billionaire money.

It doesn't matter that you ignore it, it does happen occasionally. It makes no sense to evaluate the world only as it should be, and ignore how it is

I’m just saying, the Native Americans didn’t have highways before the settlers, so even though there was a lot of bad, there was also some good.

Of course you'll claim I'm sucking off billionaires when the reality is all I'm saying is a very simple and undeniable truth. You can't think clearly when you have to categorize everything as good or evil.

It literally doesn't matter to you that bill gates has saved thousands of lives because he's also been shitty. That's fucked up.

No, he can be taxed to millionaire status. Then we can democratically decide who the money is used to help. He no doubt got to where he is because he benefitted from the help of the US.
