Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

You seem to have forgotten the context of the conversation and fallen in love with fighting with me.
Which is better:
A rich person who gives to charity
A rich person who does not
My premise is that billionaires suck.
Philanthropy porn sucks.
A billionaire giving shit away to lower their tax burden and engage in more philanthropy porn to make themselves even more money is even shittier.
If you want to force the conversation toward semantics to make yourself right over a relative determination that one is better (less shitty), go ahead. If that’s what constitutes “better” for you.
Yeah, and mine is that some suck worse than others.
You keep pretending that's not the case, though. It's cute.
To your argument, Kim Kardashian has actually helped people, she has helped get innocent people exonerated and released from prison.
I would argue her charitable work is VASTLY more substantial than Mr. Beasts'.
Having said that... They are both terrible people and the world would be a better place without either one of them. They are both absolute whores for attention and could have achieved the same amount of charitable service without throwing themselves in front of a camera for it. Arguably stealing attention away from the people that did the actual work.
