I’d argue advocating for taxation isn’t really threatening to his own class. He’d be a class traitor if he advocated for workers’ democracy, better working rights, stronger unions, no exploitation of foreign workers, etc.
The issue isn’t that taxes are too low for the rich (even though they are), the issue is that they exploit us (both domestically and internationally) and get richer from owning rather than working, and that anything that we do to challenge this arrangement can get us killed.
You guys always do the thing that frustrated 13 year olds do when you’re argued with, where you throw up your hands and go “ugh, fine, sure, (insert strawman here), are you happy?”
I think ml users are the ones that always behave the same way. This user wouldn’t just let me make a fair point, they kept talking down to me and pretending I’m saying some shit I’m not, nor care about.
Now you’re projecting your own actions onto an entire instance, despite the fact that we’re only having this conversation because you were pretending that someone was saying something they weren’t.
Not what I said. I argued he’s not a class traitor, which is factually true. I also elaborated why. I’m uninterested in making moral judgements on billionaires.

Ok great. He is the typical billionaire and there is no gradation. Everything is binary.

This is a well recognized pattern. .ml users are dogmatic and singleminded and sometimes utterly deranged. Nice try with the psychologizing though
Also, [insert condescending shit you already know]
