To be fair, if I was a billionaire and I had the choice of helping ordinary people or doing something awesome, I would definitely pick to do something awesome. I respect Bill Gates for fighting malaria, but I would go for spaceships or robots.

Which is why not you, nor them should have so much money. We need to prevent idiots from doing idiot things by redistributing their wealth.

Then everyone will be poor and the civilization will collapse.

If it hasn’t collapsed with a few hundred people having more money than the rest of the entire world while also using it for selfish motives, I doubt it would collapse with a fairer distribution. But capitalism shills gotta shill

You know which countries are most “equal”? Poor African countries where people can’t even afford fresh water.

There are many problems with this argument; but it’s 11pm and I’m sleepy, so have the first one that came to mind.

Those countries don’t have a lot of wealth per capita to begin with, so it’s not a goddamned equal comparison.
