What? They're greedy humans who are doing things that have terrible consequences out of selfishness, not mustache twirling cartoon villains out to destroy the world for destruction's sake. I'm sure every single billionaire in the world has done something good at some point. That doesn't justify the kind of wealth disparity that makes their existence possible though.

How is what they said wrong lmao. They literally acknowledge that doing individual good things doesn't justify the wealth disparity. Every word of what they said is 100% accurate. The worst humans do individually good things sometimes and the title of the thread is NOT about the net good or bad the person did. I don't think you read the title of the thread. I think you're just dunk/upbear thirsty. I hate this element of hexbear sometimes.
