Also, about the whole status quo thing, the only way to combat aggression is aggression. If we want to change the world around us we need to be ACTIVE, we need to go for it and hit them where it hurts. I hate the upper crust as much as any other mid-low class gentleman, but I'm fully aware that almost every person who's gained great amounts of wealth are either pathetic fucks who don't do anything for fear of losing their wealth, or overly aggressive dicks who fuck every business they can in order to get even one more penny. This was never about me liking how things are, it was about facing the truth and understanding that the only real difference between them and us is money, and the rest follows naturally.

I'm just saying that everybody wants to believe that they'd be the good guy if given the chance, i would love to think that about myself too, it's just that given how many people who think that then win big and almost immediately become awful people is very discouraging of that idea, so seeing other people be like "yeah this is what I would do if i woke up in Jeff Bezos's body" feels fake. I appreciate that the conversation has deescalated though, I really don't like being like that, i was just having a shitty day, acted rude, and didn't know what to do but keep it up.
Man, you got me good. You used "I'm just built different" and acted like it was not only a VALID argument, but also like it did LITERALLY ANYTHING to weaken my statement. I didn't even say that having a lot of money made you a bad person, I agree that Bezos is a huge piece of shit, but if he treated his workers right and followed the law, then there would be no reason to hate him besides jealousy or disliking him as a person, rather than a large sum of money with a name. I'm sure you're a good person, and so are the other people who responded to the OP, but I have yet to see a single rich person who does what these people (including you and the games creator) would have them do. That's because it's super unreasonable to expect someone to just give everything away regardless of their position, and that issue would only get worse as the scale increases because you are less inclined to share with people you have little to no relationship with, and the lesser your relation the weaker that inclination gets. It's the difference between sharing a small bag of chips that's only yours with your best friend, and sharing a family sized bag of chips you bought for your friend group with a random group of people you've never met before.
p.s. this has been going on for so long, it started with my sudden and extreme annoyance at the material presented, for really no good reason, although i stand by what i said as true, I can agree that my presentation was unnecessarily aggressive, but honestly at this point it feels like arguing for the sake of arguing, but still, feel free to respond.
i wish i could agree that many down-votes would mean I'm wrong, but you've seen how stupid groups of people can be. Anyways, now that the conversation is back to you and me, not all of those faceless no ones, you do also know that almost all of the money Jeff Bezos has isn't liquidated right? he invests it right back into his companies. Another fun point is that even if you arent rich you have plenty to donate at almost every level of American and European society, pretending like its the riches fault is a pansy ass excuse and you fucking know it. So, if you have a response that actually means something (like proof that you donate to charities, that you don't make enough to donate because you have a family) instead of just saying "No, iM noT gREeDy, YoU baD!! me gOoD!!" then feel free too speak up, but if all you have to bring to the table is insults and excuses then quite frankly I'm done talking to you.
