I never said I wasn’t a socialist. I’m genuinely asking—what if I don’t want to work? In a socialist system, everything is basically free, so I don’t have to work.
OP is definitely wrong about rich people not dating middle class people or poor people
A millionaire Heiress isn’t going to date the pizza guy who comes from a working class or middle class family
The millionaire heir isn’t going to date the Starbucks Barista who comes from a working class or middle class family.
Most upper-class elites date other people from upper-class elite families. The only exception might be ‘new rich’ people, like rich athletes, singers, actresses, actors, and models. For example, a man or woman from a very wealthy family might date a rich Hollywood actor who comes from a middle-class family, but they wouldn’t date a ‘regular’ person.
You see this all the time: Nicola Peltz’s dad is a billionaire, and she’s married to David Beckham’s son. David Beckham is worth half a billion dollars. There is no way a millionaire heir or heiress is going to date someone middle class. The idea that ‘star-crossed lovers’ fall in love is just a trope in TV and movies.
How about executives in companies?
Homelander is heroic and a better father in comparison to the Superman and Lois show.
So you think parents should harass, stalk and their children ignore their consent and boundaries which is basically rape? So they should rape their kids? Is that what you are saying?
A) You clearly don’t have kids.
If I had kids, I know how to respect boundaries. If they made it clear they don’t like me or don’t want me around and told me to leave them alone, I could—I wouldn’t harass them and stalk them, because I’m not a predator like how they wrote Clark. Secondly, if I was a superhero, I couldn’t get mad at my kids for lying and keeping secrets from me when I do the same thing.
"C) It’s a TV Show, conflict and drama keeps people paying attention."
There is nothing wrong with drama and conflict, but when it’s forced, it’s just bad drama for the sake of drama. When it’s nonsensical, it’s just bad writing, and it makes the characters who I’m supposed to like unlikable. If Jon tells Lois to her face, ‘Fuck you, I don’t like or care about you and don’t want you in my life,’ and Lois continues to force herself on Jon (which comes off as predatory), and Jon is verbally cruel toward her, then she deserves it. If someone tells you to fuck off and you decide to stay in their life and they verbally abuse you and treat you like shit I feel no sympathy for you.
Ironheart was dumb as hell, though. She didn’t need to join a gang to make money. If she built a bunch of gadgets and an Iron Man suit in a college classroom, then she can build something and sell it. Or go back to Wakanda and get an internship there.
If your son has $500 Million dollars and lives in a mansion in Bel Air with staff ect I think not saying anything to your family is wrong.
I’m not. I’m just asking how a person of color who’s a billionaire or CEO can be unknown, since whenever it happens, it’s a pretty big deal.
How about Black or other person of color CEOs? How are they famous?
business savvy
mean, it’s false to say Tyler Perry is not a good businessman. He may make shit movies, but he knows the people who like his movies don’t care and will support the slop.
Let’s look at some arguments against Batman.
“He beats up poor people.”
You could, again, say this about any rich superhero, but Batman doesn’t “beat up poor people.” Most of the people he fights are rich and wealthy crime lords who hurt innocent people in his city. That’s what the entire Court of Owls storyline is about. And even if the criminals are poor, these are still people who are going out of their way to choose to rape, kill, and maim people. The criminals who are criminals because they are poor—Batman gives them tons of job opportunities.
If someone is a pimp who pimps out underage girls, and is a rapist, an assassin, or a gang leader, should we not stop them because “they are poor”? Especially when they make so much money they could retire or go legit?
“He beats up the mentally ill.”
Again, Joker is doing what he’s doing because he wants to, and this is an insult to mentally ill people, because there are tons of mentally ill people who choose not to commit evil acts and want to treat their mental illness. Batman’s rogues gallery is not—and again, most supervillains are mentally ill—so this point is stupid.
“He recruits children.”
Teen Titans—the sidekicks of damn near every League member. And then they might say, “Well, they have powers.” They are still fighting threats that can kill them. Also, by this argument, you’re basically saying a teen should not be a superhero because he has no powers.
“Why doesn’t he use his wealth to help Gotham?”
Literally every comic, animated show, and movie shows he’s using his wealth to help Gotham.
A real fan of DC does not make these stupid arguments because they know it's objectively false.
