even on this website, some people operate under the unfortunate false belief that I (or anyone else) am somehow obligated to be *fair* to billionaires

I think it's best for the billionaires if they have less fairness and more experience with chaos demons that will impulsively burn down everything they hold dear. Builds character.

Please, sir, can you point me to the Ethical Treatment of Billionaires Act of 1776? Oh, sir, you’re telling me you can’t find such a legal code, a specific law demanding I treat billionaires with compassion and understanding?

You’re welcome to start your own People for the Ethical Treatment of Sweaty Billionaires charity, I guess, but I don’t think I’ll be donating.

“Society is required to treat Smaug the gold-hoarding dragon as wise and industrious” is a hell of a take

They have everything. They don’t need my love. Fuck them. They should all be guillotined and their money redistributed. Nearly every single one of them started with massive advantages that accelerated at every stage of their lives based on that privilege.

Not to detract from your point, but conservationists unironically *have* persuaded me to be more patient and compassionate toward mosquitos. 😂 Unlike billionaires, mosquitos only suck my blood to the extent they need it to survive.

As a representative of a species that is still paying for the extermination of every predator in our world, I'm well aware that mosquitos are an important link in the food chain. So unlike billionaires, they don't quite deserve to be driven into extinction. That is all the courtesy I'll extend them.

what could we do to billionaires that was "fair" that didn't include taking away almost everything tehy own? after all, most people don't have that... the only "Fair" thing would be to bring them into parity with us, right?

I’ve invented new and innovative ways to hate billionaires. For example, their views on frogs (and many other amphibians) are LOATHESOME.

If Life Were Required To Be Fair They Wouldn’t Have Multi-Billions Of Dollars. So, they can suck up US not being fair to THEM Or they can give us back the billions of dollars, I’m open to that, too.
