She was correct. There are some billionaires that have different mental health issues, but not those.

I'm sorry but you seem to be mistaken.

Billionaires are a different species and we don't have enough research data to refer to in order to determine what mental illnesses, if any, they might have.

Don't lump them in with the rest of humanity because they aren't even people anymore. They are inhuman scum that has mistakenly evolved. A fucking virus. We went out of our way to eradicate smallpox but unfortunately we haven't successfully purged Billionarisim from humanity. I genuinely do not care how that is done. I don't care. They need to be removed from society at all possible costs before they destroy it.

technically the threshold for "different species" is "can't reproduce with other species through normal biological means" so I think while it's hard to argue that with other billionaires, Elon Musk is an interesting case since AFAIK all those kids with his genes were conceived through artificial insemination. you may be on to something; maybe we're watching a divergence in action.

Yes. Is there some reason you're just saying the word billionaires?

"why male models" vibe

I believe the joke is that you come off as rabid in your original comment. I'm not trying to judge you, but it was the vibe I was getting.

Billionaires are parasites of society, not respecting the social contract and outright have zero empathy, only forcing their way for whatever they want at whatever the cost.

You probably would think likewise if you just imagined how much good can be done with just a fraction of a billion and then seeing thousands upon thousands of them, not helping but just trying to rake in more and more.

Billionaires are meddling in elections, exploiting people, depriving them of rights, humiliating them and forcing people into servitude. But being angry at them means that I'm rabid?

They are the lowest of the low. They are the scum you scrape off of the sidewalk. The human grime that's left inside of a toilet bowl that hasn't been cleaned in long enough. There is no amount of vitriol, hatred, or venom one can spew at them that can make you rabid or a bad person. They are a get out of jail free card for spiteful and hateful feelings. You are not a bad person if you feel them against billionaires because they are not people. They deserve no protection and get none. When they have decided to fuck over everyone in a trillion mile vicinity for the sake of their own wallets and egos they have forgone absolutely any protections that they are given under simple human rights.

I am simply saying that the paradox of tolerance does not end when it comes to fascism and nazis. They do not deserve to be tolerated as they have broken the contract. So have billionaires. When you exploit everyone, you do not get to be protected from exploitation. When you drive violent rhetoric towards people with the billions you have, you no longer get protection from rhetoric. When you encourage violence, division, hatred and then actively carry it out in every way possible? You do not get to be protected from it being thrown against you. There are no moral or ethical billionaries. Partially because they are oil and water but also because they are not human. They are not to be tolerated. They are to be eradicated.

You call me rabid but I don't call scientists working to eradicate a disease rabid for being furious at said disease for destroying humanity. I'm no more rabid. Billionaires are not people.

Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.
