NGL I can't imagine casually throwing slurs around having been acceptable on HN 1, 2, or even 5 years ago yet here we are.
If you don't think that kind of behavior, by people with major control over the economy, is worth protesting, that gratuitous slur you used is about the kindest word I can think of for you.
And while we're throwing insults around, the greedy narcissistic oligarchs, and their wannabe followers, who exhibit that behavior are only demonstrating that they're also pretty much empty between the ears - all they see is dollar signs and all they want is more of them. They don't seem capable of self-reflection, or any of the other more admirable human traits.
If there ever was a group that no-one will shed a tear for when the next revolution comes, they are it. They all worry about how they're going to protect themselves against an uncertain future - bunkers in New Zealand and that sort of thing - but none of them seem to have considered the idea of actually being pro-social good citizens of the society that grants them their wealth and power.
If anyone needs their taste of boot polish for the day, go ahead and disagree.
sorry but this is just retarded.
kids have to protest something, but this? it's another tool. you can use it to make yourself smarter. just because you're not doing that, doesn't make it bad.
why don't they, I don't know, protest the destruction of the planet? oh I know why. because that's complicated, and the adversaries are ambiguous.
get off my lawn. lol
