That’s actually all… I’ll leave it up to you to speculate on the cure…

    If you saw a single bear successfully hoarding 98% of the food supply of an entire forest, you’d have to be a fucking moron to fail to classify them as a detrimental anomaly.

      They don’t do that because they physically can’t. If they could they would. If you have two starving bears and throw them one carcass. Only one will eat because they will fight and scream away the weaker one.

        Yet billionaires can. Interesting how you are willing to work so hard to completely miss the point. How stupid do you choose to be?

          The original point is that billionaires, as I interpret it, is that billionaires are worse than animals. Or at least that if we look at billionaires as if they were animals we would still diagnose them as ill. My point is that that’s not true. Animals can be just as psychotic. Most have absolutely no morals and a subset of them regularly do things that are way worse than what the billionaires are doing, hence my examples.

          However animals are not humans. Billionaires are humans. If we say billionaires are like animals that’s already a really bad grade. We humans are supposed to be much better than that. I’m not defending billionaires at all. I’m saying one should compare them to something else. There are much better and more effective ways to criticize them than this.
