Sending people extreme porn because you’re upset is still sexual assault you fucking creep. Them having money doesn’t change the fact that you’re literally bragging about sexual assault.

I didn’t say it was against the law. I said it was sexual assault. Justifying it is disgusting. They upset you so you spam them with extreme porn, it’s such childish logic to justify scum behavior.

I’d ask you to consider the inverse where you get spammed with snuff porn or something because you upset someone but I don’t think empathy is something you care about. Just assuaging your ego after feeling disrespected.

You’re objectively a bad person based on your position.

Your point? Would you donate half of everything you own or all of it? Probably not. At least they’re helping.

People complaining about rich people not donating more are hypocrites, cause I don’t see any of you donating too or donating the percentage of what you earn/ have in the bank that you think they should be donating.

I agree with this so much. It is becomming a standard response. Like, let’s see you donate that percentage of your net worth (and oftentimes these people donate to multiple causes over the years). I’m also not saying ‘those poor multimillionnaires’, there is enough wrong worh our system. But they are doing something while you only go full keyboard warrior.

You have fallen for wealthy classes trap.

Hope you keep learning!

"Problem 1: Never trust a billionaire. Problem 2: When a billionaire starts a fund, DON’T GIVE THEM MONEY. Problem 3: How do you think a billionaire becomes a billionaire?

Thank you Sabby for exposing these rich frauds.

DON’T GIVE THESE PEOPLE ANYTHING"

I’m in debt and barely able to live. My retirement plan is basically to kill myself when I’m old.

They have the means to donate far more and still live a life of opulent luxury, if anything need donations.

So no, that’s a shit argument for why we should be happy they threw some scraps at the issue and asked others to donate their livelihood.

I donate 10% of my income every month, which is as much as I can and also 33.3x more than 0.3%. Don’t paint everyone with the same brush, especially not to defend the haves from the have-nots.

If they donate half of what they own they would have more money than they and their family and their ancestors could ever spend. If i donate half my money, i can’t pay rent anymore.

They’re giving the equivalent of 150$ for someone who make 50k/year… In isolation I would say that yes many people donate a higher % of their income.

Realistically, it’s one of many causes they donate to.

This is the trap of marketing and communication. They donate for the image, to hide the image of the rich disconnected from the reality of the poorer.

I’m all for the rich to contribute to pay and help the people, but not through charity. The rich must be taxed, and these taxes serves to help with government jobs, so everyone has a word to say. With taxes, we help the poorer, we help in case of natural disasters, we found the researches, we give access to healthcare, we… With charity, we help the riches to keep an oppressive system of power over the poorest. It’s a system to keep the huge gap between rich and poor.

I mean if you have a car then 0.3% of your net worth is probably at least $1

If you don’t want to donate $1 because you think someone else should be donating more then you’re worse than them

I’m not saying you should, just that if you don’t you shouldn’t judge them

Yeah, nah mate.

My bank balance is in the negatives until payday, when I get paid it’ll be back to negative within the week.

I’ll fucking judge them until they’re no longer living multiple lifetimes of luxury while others suffer.

I copy paste one of my comments about charity:

It creates a subordination to the rich. The poor will be dependant of the charity to live.

The charities should not exist at all. It’s neoliberal to privatize everything so the state is smaller and smaller and create a direct control of the masses by the rich. This system is even more perverse. The rich can make the own rules and own regulations to give even more control on the poorer.

The work done by the charity must be done by the state itself with it’s own employees. It finances these programs through the taxes and regulations. The state must be strong. You have your word here what’s not the case with charity.

The best thing is to remunerate the work at its fair value. The workers thus recover the majority of the money earned by the company. This also solves the problem of profits and dividends.They are used to pay workers properly, which is not the case today.

Pocket change to them, while they maintain the system that ensures that some people have to rely on charity in the first place while they hoard millions if not billions.

Don’t play along

Whenever a multibillion dollar celebrity or corporate entity appears overly concerned about a cause and is asking you to help donate, just remember that it’s only so they can write it off on their taxes and save a few bucks.

If Walmart really cared about the Children’s Stollary Hospital, why the fuck don’t they donate even just a small fraction of their unimaginable wealth?

Can you provide any evidence walmart is getting tax reductions or saves a few bucks when consumers donate at the checkout? I can only find the opposite

No, but they get credit for raising all that money with the non-profit. Walmart gets to send out press releases about the donation that are gobnled up by lazy journalists. Walmart executives get the fringe benefits that come with a large donation such as party invites and chumming around with other donors. Also, they are getting free mentions in this very comment.

you pretty much summed up how it works at the Canadian tills. It is just a PR “lookie at us being goodest” and the typical rich people doing nice things knobberey.

And a huge slap in the face and pain in the ass for their employees to which they don’t give a shit about and who have to put up with the asshole comments that follow the request put forth by the employer.

Their goal is not to get you to help Maui. Their goal is to get you to subsidize their tax evasion. It’s a massive loophole in the tax system which is why every rich asshole has a charity or foundation these days.
