Kanye West - ye & Kids See Ghosts (June 1 & 8 2018) Album • Page 115

I’ll accept with poise and grace, when they draw my name from the lottery.

 

BUT DOES IT MAKE YOU COMPLICIT

 

the threshold for being rich making you evil is $1 less than Chrissy Teigen's net worth of course

 

did taylor swift get rich off me pirating her music?

 

I hope Kanye's canned his album and fucked off to take a long hard look at--

oh wait no this is a person with an ego the size of Jupiter we're talking about here, never mind. seriously though, I have no fucks left to give about this or him after the hat incident. he might turn things around but it's not likely.

 

unless you live alone in a hole you dug in the woods, everyone is complicit. so what? what difference does it make? that doesn't mean its the ideal system and everything is fine.

 

Genuine question: how have you made it through life without hearing “no ethical consumption in capitalism?” — seriously this is like walking into some 101 level class and having not even read the Wikipedia article while trying to make “points.” It’s just weird and not going well for you. Like, do some basic reading or engage in good faith if you want a response.

 

people hold really strong opinions on stuff they arent really that informed on. its wild.

 

Ok? Not what I was asking. Some people in here seem to think every rich person is a piece of shit. Which is why I asked about people that become rich from winning the lottery.

 

There is a difference between joe Schmoes who are rich and billionaires

 

This is both what I did and did not expect from a Kanye thread.

 

why does it matter to you if every rich person being a piece of shit includes people who won the lottery

 

If you win 300 million dollars and keep it all and horde the wealth — yes you’re shitty. This is not hard. What does that have to do with anything real?

 

It's a simple formula if you trampled people on your way to making your obscene wealth, fuck off.

If you hoard your obscene wealth, fuck off.

Granted we'll all have different ideas of what constitutes obscene or hoarding.

 

My friend won the McDonalds Monopoly thing like 10 years ago and he is not rich

It's an illusion of gain considering the taxes and the fact that it's not a steady flow of income

 

Because I don’t agree that all rich people are bad people.

 

why?

 

And the example you came up with to try and prove this point ... was a hypothetical winner of the lottery? Like zero real people can come to mind?

 

I’ve already stated I don’t think Bill Gates is a bad person because he’s rich. I think plenty of athletes are not bad people because they’re rich.

 

i just cant imagine defending super rich people

 

And then ignored all the evidence to the contrary. Labor practices, theft, monopolies, etc.

 

I just find it amusing how some of you paint things in really wide brush strokes

also I don’t think consuming entertainment is comparable to buying an iPhone

 

are they bad because they're rich or are they rich because they're bad? who's to say, and really, who cares, because they're all bad regardless
