It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I agree with both of you I guess? I have millionaire relatives and they don’t seem much happier to me than people who basically have their needs met and don’t need to worry too much about destitution. Like once you have a house, a decent job, a family (assuming you want one), some hobbies, maybe the time and resources to travel occasionally, and relative stability, it’s difficult for life to get much better than that IMO. Some of these relatives also struggle with depression and can be unpleasant to be around. I haven’t seen any of them since the pandemic started.
None of the billionaire ghouls seem like happy or well adjusted people. Elon Musk strikes me as incredibly miserable. Exploiting people in order to run up an imaginary score has to be mentally corrosive no matter how much of a sociopath you are.
