"The rich are good people deep down"

@RadicalGraffiti the only one I have empathy is for the kid who did not want to go. :(
@marsaeternum @RadicalGraffiti He was a 19 year old millionaire.
@kortskalle @marsaeternum @RadicalGraffiti Doesn't necessarily make him a bad person just for being rich, he got all that money from his dad. He was still a kid.
@7 @marsaeternum @RadicalGraffiti Legally an adult. LOL I'm probably more of a "bad person" according to people like you, for not having sympathy to spare for the rich.

@kortskalle @marsaeternum @RadicalGraffiti I hate the rich as much as the next person, but 'legally an adult' and being a kid aren't mutually exclusive. Life's much too confusing to figure out for someone at that age, he still had a LOT more to learn. Could have ended up being a better person than his dad.

I wouldn't call lacking empathy for the rich being a bad person, either. Most rich people are abhorrent. But he didn't get his money by owning slaves in cobalt mines or anything like that, he was just born to a more wealthy family than most. That's not his choice. We can't say whether he was a horrible person or not, because we have no way of knowing what he would have been like the older he got.

I'm not defending the rich here. I'm defending a kid who died because he wanted to make his rich, insensible dad happy.

@7 @kortskalle @marsaeternum @RadicalGraffiti sure inherited money is always better. Geez. Must be nice to make your money for just waking up in the morning.
@darwinwoodka @7 @kortskalle @marsaeternum @RadicalGraffiti Way to miss the point. You don't visit racism onto people for being born black/brown/white, why should you visit it onto some teen on a submarine? Your beef is with his dad, not him.
