There is no gray area in this debate. You either use children as chattel or kill them.

YOU - "You should invest in a youth centre."

MEGA RICH LIGHT-BENDING GUY - "A youth centre, huh? What kind of youth centre?"

CONCEPTUALIZATION - Come on. Tell him what he wants to hear.

YOU - "One dedicated to instilling liberal economic values in children from low-net-worth families."

MEGA RICH LIGHT-BENDING GUY - "Brilliant! Without children who'll be there to buy stuff in the future?"

YOU - "Yes. And if it doesn't work out, we can always re-purpose the centre as a shopping mall or private equity firm."

MEGA RICH LIGHT-BENDING GUY - "When life closes a door, it opens a window, yes? What's the expected return on this?"

YOU - "Highly educated, work-ready, human capital ready to be directed toward any number of your vast interests."

MEGA RICH LIGHT-BENDING GUY - "Very impressive. You've got a natural eye for unusual investment opportunities."

I'd totally watch a mini-series about a class conscious grifter that sells ridiculous soul-crushing bullshit to billionaire investors.

Well they wouldn't fucking starve to death if their country wasn't destroyed by exploitative mining!

When I pointed out how billionaire "philanthropy" is both pocket change for them and usually is just taking money out of one pocket and putting it in the other, I got back "well would you rather those millions of dollars didn't get spent to help at all?" smuglord

When it comes to Bill Gates' eugenics shit and making public schools even worse, yes, I'd rather he didn't.

Thank you Mr and Mrs Bill and Melinda Gates for making a government funded COVID vaccine a privatized profit center during a global pandemic

It's basically that time Andrew Tate taunted a father who was trying to raise money for his kid's surgery by saying how the surgery is a fraction of what Tate spends on his many cars.

The children should be mining, in Minecraft.

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

I rather 11:11 mine and the kids do kid things rather than dangerous labor.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
