I been around for awhile and
Here’s The Damn Thing…
“Nobody owes you anything”
So they say.
Well, I DISAGREE.
We owe each other kindness by default.
We owe one another Human Decency.
Acceptance. The opportunity to be who they are, without expectations. Without exceptions.
Everyone.

Look, I can accept that people have different points of views. We should still be able to get along. War and crime exist because gross inequalities prevent some people from having what they NEED to survive. This is a choice the rest of us have made.
We choose to go to war to protect borders which exist to divide, instead of using our great wealth to share the bounty we’ve been fortunate to receive. A handful of people use their power to extract resources, and grow more powerful and wealthy doing so.

There is nothing wrong with profit. I am not a communist. But with great wealth comes great responsibility. If that wealth is practically unlimited, and you choose to keep extracting, rather than giving back enough to ensure ALL the less fortunate are not suffering, you are a just a cruel fucking human being.
It IS your responsibility. You can’t just leave the homeless to suffer. The children hungry or sick. In your own country. In other countries. Does it matter?
You have BILLIONS and all you can think about is making MORE MONEY, taking away basic necessities from the poor. Medicine. Food. Shelter. Clothing. These things should NEVER be denied to any human being.

There are more than enough resources to feed everyone in the world. But humanity chooses to spend those resources building bombs to lob at each other from our warplanes, ships and tanks instead.
Billions spent fighting over oil, rather than feeding people, or harnessing clean, free energy from the sun. We allow a few to amass huge fortunes, exploiting millions of people for their labors while paying them as little as possible for their work.
It’s become tragically laughable that more people aren’t outraged. That billionaires are treated like celebrities, when they should be ashamed to show their faces in public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


YOU FUCKERS could DO something about the problems we all actually care about. But you CHOOSE NOT TO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Billionaires should be ashamed, (not afraid, and I stress that, NOT afraid), of showing their faces in public. The paparazzi should expose their excesses in shame, rather than celebrating their conquest of other human beings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Because you don’t become a billionaire by paying people what they are worth. You don’t stay a billionaire by giving enough back. At least not until all the problems are solved. Millions should enough for you. For anyone.

Capitalism without a conscience is just tyranny by the elite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
