    To be fair, the plea was for humanity, not billionairity. At some point this person was an infant and we’d protect and care about her then.

    Yes, the inequality is atrocious and her party is cruel and ruthless about expanding it, but therein lies the catch - we’re all gonna go some day. Right? Literally at the end of it we’re all the same in that regard. (cryogenicists and brain-in-a-computer people to the left)

    So I think it’s a crazy and sad story, I feel bad for the human, but the larger metaphor is ok to be temporarily amused by, imho. Y’know the problem with the French Revolution was they got really into beheading people. Children, pets, etc. Like, way more than anyone should, “even though” etc. Because if we lose that humanity we’re worse off than we are now, right?

    Anyway, don’t sweat the downvotes, humanity person. It’s just people being mad about billionaires, and who isn’t?
