Mitchell HashimotoIt’s interesting being in a financial class now where I see people calling for my death daily on social media (not me specifically but me as a category of people). I’m not defending bad people, I don’t think I’m one of them on balance, I’m just making a narrow comment where it’s interesting to wake up and think “oh look, someone I had dinner with a dozen times calling for my death.”
Light Owl ☸️@mitchellh any and every risk you face comes with the territory. That's how kamma works. A Buddhist view here would be that you and your family *don't* deserve to be harmed (did you *actively* and *intentionally* threaten or harm anyone through your speech or deeds? No?). Having said this, you do deserve any and every risk, generally speaking, that comes along with being so rich. Your money is obviously at your disposal for the purpose of mitigating any and all those risks. Just like someone who *voluntarily* goes to, say, the bad parts of Detroit *generally* deserves the risks they encounter by *deciding* to go there.
Li ~ Crystal System@sbb @mitchellh no one "deserves" harm or to be put at risk actually .. no matter what they do or whatever the fuck other bullshit reasons, and i dont care what you launder it through ..
