      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.
