bro a pedo rapist is not the same as a guy sleeping with an escort. it should be fucking obvious. throwing bullshit around only weakens our credibility and republicans are already using that to discredit this whole thing as a “witch hunt”.

lumping in every person who’s done anything wrong into the same evil billionaire bucket muddies the waters and lessens the burden on the worse ones. as far as i know, Bill slept with some prostitutes, cheated on his wife and asked for some drugs. this is nowhere near the pedophilia, rape, murder and worse that the worst offenders did.
you can say philanthropy is just a tax strategy but this guy is deeply involved in the philanthropy and knowledgeable about it for a while now, and attempts to use it for the best. again, compare with someone like Les Wexner or Staley, this guy is worlds apart.
like we can be clear about what each individual person did. i don’t think Bill has actually done anything reprehensible.
I think it’s important to remember, as disgusting as these vermin are, this is a small fraction of the wealthy people in the world. and i don’t believe many of the names did anything evil after seeing the available evidence. they went to try to make a deal, get money, go to a party, maybe had sex with an of age woman or prostitute. some were probably guilty of understanding what was going on and staying silent which is petty bad as well. Ghislaine even dressed and told girls to claim they were over 18 . but the abuse and horrific shit was done by a relatively small group of sadistic psychopath trash. at least so far.
why don’t you tell me what your actual problem is with Paul McCartney, Michael Jordan, Taylor Swift or Bill Gates? they’re all very rich. not billionaires as a concept, what makes these specific people so much more evil than an average person?
even if we say MOST people who became billionaires are bad, it doesn’t mean all of them are. and even if Bill Gates is a psychopath, he hasn’t raped any children that im aware of.
you guys seem to have a legitimate point that a system that lets billionaires exist is dangerous, but when you say shit like this - no one outside the most extreme leftist circles is going to listen and it makes changing things that much harder
