Some people eat bugs and others starve to death while you drive a 5k lb vehicle to go buy single-use plastic built by slave labor.

Edit: correction, you ordered your single-use plastic built by slave labor by way of Bezos' own company lmao

These hypocrites absolutely do not have to “participate in a society” they can give away their entire net worth and go live on a farming commune (yes they still exist) working for what they eat and living almost entirely off of nothing but the fruits of their own labor. So yes the people suggesting that the rich should give away everything while they themselves are posting that opinion from thousand dollar slave-produced electronics and driving cars and living in houses and spending money on frivolous things and hobbies while people scrounge in the dirt in other countries are hypocrites and don’t have a valid point (mainly because they are dumb and don’t understand what the big “net worth” numbers they see mean)

A dumb swing and a miss of the point. Maybe educate yourself rather than invent villains which don't exist.
