      ok I’m going to TRY to explain his thinking but I’m likely going to come off as racist trying to explain it.

      What he’s saying is there are those who earned their wealth via hard work and all that other bullshit and others that just got it handed to them or give off the impression that they’re insanely wealthy when “they’re not”.

      this is what he likely means when he says “n-word rich”. Because this morons impression of wealth in the Black community is via watching music videos and watching reality TV. He’s watched way too many youtube vids about such and such Black music artist or athlete who wears all this “bling” has all these cars and a huge mansion with nothing in it but meanwhile said person is broke. that’s what he means by “n-word rich”.

      he could have just said “The problem is the majority of billionaires aren’t actually billionaires. They just think they are.”

    The most benevolent reading of his idea here is that the rich are shallow and are content with the base material satisfactions afforded them by wealth, as opposed to using their wealth for some kind of greatness.

    That’s it. That’s the whole idea.

    So this is the wise sage of the dark enlightenment? This is the intellectual colossus shaping the thinking of the new tech elite?

    There is nothing there. Any random village priest (or small town pastor for you yanks) has more intellectual depth in their Sunday sermon than this.

        Omg! this was unexpectedly good!! I almost stopped watching after the first minute thinking it’s another “hollywood movie nerd” talking about imaginary superheros that fly and shoot lazers from their eyes… Then suddenly my guy “the hollywood movie nerd” switched to real mode really quick just before you thought you could sleep on him! This guy! that was awesome!

    Did he elaborate further on what that means? Seriously, where’s the original tweet? there’s no way nobody ask this racist twat in replies to explain to layman non-philosophers like us what is n-word rich billionares, and what he sees as a problem with his best friends Peter Thiel and Elon Musk? does he mean they they are leeching lazy mutants on society? does he meam they exaggerate or waste their wealth where it should not go? Is he criticizing them or is he actually with classism and billionares but just wants them to get their act together and invest in better things? is that something of the billionare-class shortcomings or does he oppose America’s form of capitilism which lead to their existence?

    peter thiels bestie, was allegedly defenestrated last year, his boytoy , not his husband. also the fact the p2025 and heritage foundation is funded by thiel himself, but the endgame doesnt include “people” like THIEL in thier society.

    thiel likes to do things behind the scenes, so he avoids any responsibilities, plus hes gay so he would face much resistance in his policies if he was up and front, like the log cabin people.

    I’m pretty sure you won’t get banned for using the hard R on Twitter anymore, so what is the actual point? I mean, even if you did, avoiding the actual word wouldn’t trick anyone into thinking you mean anything but what you do.

    The appropriate words to put in there are Nigglers. Cause they are all niggler-rich. They niggle away at us: pay me for this pay me for that. They didn’t do any work or produce anything but a stranglehold on their workers (niggling away their/your hours for niggled pay).

    Lynch the Nigglers. Billionaires & corporations. Lynch em all.

    Well, a piece of shit launched at my enemy isn’t my friend, but I’m not going to get in it’s way either

        Don’t interrupt your enemy’s enemy dumbass

        I’m not saying they’re your friend, just don’t interrupt the fight. Use it. Let them fight

        Don’t interrupt two enemies who are making a mistake, don’t be a fucking idiot. Use the opportunity, win.

        That’s all that matters - win and never forget why you did it
