They’ve made billions not caring for anyone else’s family. Why should anyone care about theirs?

[-] kittehx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 57 points 6 days ago

yeah how could anyone be expected to provide for their families with less than a billion dollars

[-] ReCursing@lemmings.world 50 points 6 days ago

Their families are already provided for for the next five generations, at least, assuming they're all shite with money!

[-] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 9 points 6 days ago

and each of them buying their own house

[-] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 6 days ago

At least five generations living outrageously opulent lifestyles while assuming they're shite with money.

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 36 points 6 days ago

With one billion dollars, I could comfortably provide for my family for ten thousand years. They'll be fine without them

[-] Visstix@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago

They can provide for multiple generations when they die.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

They could provide for hundreds of millions of families.

Yo, I'm damn sure an anticapitalist, but the numbers are way off here. $1B split by 100M works out to $10 per family.

[-] nieminen@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

You forget they're usually multi-billionaires at this point. So could be anywhere from $10-30 per person.

Is there a specifically anti-billionaire Lemmy community one could join?

[-] MrRazamataz@lemmy.razbot.xyz 26 points 6 days ago

That is Lemmy!

[-] jsomae@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 days ago

I feel like this is most lemmy communities? What pro-billionaire lemmy communities are there?

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 days ago

Actually a more interesting question than you think. When asked "should billionaires exist?" Almost everyone on Lemmy would respond "no," I suspect, but when asked "should we be working towards Communism?" I suspect the answer is far more mixed. Depending on your personal views, someone can say they oppose billionaires but not support actual practical methods of reducing them, just saying "increase taxes" as though they would ever let that happen.

Hexbear.net and Lemmygrad.ml are the largest explicitly Leftist instances on Lemmy.

This makes a nice companion to the meme that ends with the rich guy saying “fuck off” to something reasonable that involves helping other humans.

[-] onlooker@lemmy.ml 13 points 6 days ago

Nobody thinks of the billionaires, it's so unfair.

[-] Murple_27@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 days ago

Piccolo would not be making this argument. If anybody would it would be Turles there.

[-] LavaPlanet@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Meh, they've got enough money for therapy.
