  • I like how you frame your pov, it’s convincing. Esp. this part,

    The problem with this is that society doesn’t get to choose where his money went, he did.

    I agree, and I’ve always been about higher taxes on the wealthy. The point in original point was more that the left needs effective, goal-directed leadership. Not martyrs or short-term solutions.

    Okay fair points, perhaps! But I think literally two days ago there was front page post about a billionaire who gave away his fortune and died with something like 200M. I mean, if he made sure his money was being spent wisely then he did a net good for humanity.

    Secondly, I don’t mean to antagonize with these posts, so if anyone’s feelings were hurt, I feel bad.

    Ugh please stop. The left needs to stop idolizing losers like Luigi or Unabomber.

    The Che comparison is uncalled for because Che actually achieved something other than getting caught.

    As far as US activists go, people who actually achieve something like MLK or Malcolm X or Rosa Parks or Harriet Tubman are 100% more admirable.

    Choose winners! We need people like Musk for these causes, not losers who peter out and die.
