    Bill Gates as well, who have more money than you and your next 10 generations will ever need, and you defend them, why

    Is having money a reason to attack a person?

      Yes. A person like Gates only has as much as he does, because he stole it from the people below him. Every wage theft, underpaid worker, every instance of “just stick around another hour for free, for the team!”, is money that went into Gates pocket. He has that much wealth because he fucked everyone on the way up. I think it’s our duty to do harm to billionaires and the ultra rich. They are parasites, viruses on the human race.

        And then you have Woz, who is an engineer, who shared his own stock with employees when Jobs declined to, who sold off his investments when he had enough money to live the rest of his life in the utmost luxury. Which stopped him considerably short of being a billionaire, people who continue to hoard amounts of wealth far beyond what a person could ever use (like Bill Gates)

        Woz was an engineer who figured out how to make a computer run on televisions to make it more affordable for the average person. He worked for a living - comparing him to Bill Gates is unfair.

        He actually did the thing, personally with his own hands. He isn’t rich because he exploited people, he’s rich despite others becoming far richer by exploiting his work

        He did the thing that all billionaires should have done long before they became billionaires - he realized he had more than enough, and he stopped hoarding wealth.

        So being Bill Gates is a reason to attack someone, as long as the person you’re attacking is Bill Gates?
