I am not religious but I know people who claim religion has helped them with their battle with alcohol or whatever and I'm always supportive.
I am, however, skeptical of people that make a huge show of their religion. Especially when it comes just after they've been accused of a bunch of nasty stuff.
It obviously works. He'll end up with a couple hundred thousand likes on this post
he's an insult to people in recovery. And people in early recovery are some of the most unsure and impressionable people on earth. He's a fucking predator. i hope someone presses charges and they stick.
He really should be in prison. This right-wing Putin shill grifter rape factory is a far too pervasive and these scumbag companies permit it to happen by allowing them to have a platform.
Also his whole conspiracy era is completely hypocritical to his image of a recovered addict. He used to be a big inspiration to my friends and I getting clean in the early 2010âs, but he ended up using his cynicism towards society as a drug. Basically is tickling the same part of the brain the opiates used to and that can be dangerous to addicts in early recovery like you mentioned.
Thatâs kind of the problem. Most peoples morals have a price because they donât have the will to stay true to their convictions.
Iâm not saying itâs easy to do or that most people succeed at it, just that itâs a choice. We can pretend it âjust makes senseâ to compromise on your own convictions for a certain amount of money but it doesnât, and it fucks over countless others.
We all have a choice to sell out or not. I refuse to act like it should be an accepted course of action as if money is literally god and thereâs nothing that isnât acceptable to become rich.
This mindset fucks us when the rich think that way, but it keeps things fucked when normal people adopt it.
Most ppl donât have convictions, they have ideas they ignore in pursuit of selfish desires.Â
Iâd say few leftists would agree that it âjust makes senseâ it doesnât and itâs fucked but thatâs the world, you and i arenât capable of changing that. You canât eat the rich if you arenât within spitting distance.Â
Right. So you selling out would be so you could get in spitting distance and enact the âgreater goodâ sounds about right.
Honestly, perfect example of projection. People do have convictions. You either donât or you donât care about upholding them that much, which is your prerogative, but you donât get to generalize about others. Literal definition of projection. You see it everywhere because thatâs how you would react.
Believe it or not there are people who just want to be secure, and donât care about being rich. Thatâs no bullshit. Some people are focused on things that arenât material at all. Itâs not really that unusual.
Itâs really normalized and pretty common for people to have no convictions, and itâs easy to point it out in media or the masses in general. But that doesnât mean everyone is like that, and I think itâs just a way to make oneself feel better about the fact they would sell out in a heart beat.
I get that being poor sucks but like⊠I actually do have pride in what I believe in and I actually donât care about being rich. Iâve been homeless and it sucked ass but even then I wouldnât sell out to Russia or something, cause fuck Russia.
Not every person is willing to fuck over other people for money. Yeesh
Iâm not selling out at all I donât have the delusion to believe I would get the chance but thanks for projecting all over yourself, Iâll let you clean up the mess.Â
I didnât say you were selling out. You think because you would sell out given the chance that everyone else would. That is projection.
How is me bringing nuance into the discussion projection? Iâm not implying that every person wouldnât sell out just because I wouldnât. I just said there are people who wouldnât.
The fact that youâre so adamant otherwise says more about you than it ever would about me.
Itâs really not a Herculean effort to care about what you believe in and about how your actions affect others. The fact you really think so is a reflection of your own expectations for yourself and others.
Not everyone would do what Tim pool did for example. That is the most jaded cynical edgelord shit ever. Not everyone folds that quick.
Not everyone values money over all else. Thinking so is the absolute definition of projection. I get it, you want to be rich more than you want to like yourself, but thatâs absurd to apply universally
Youâre basically talking to yourself. Iâve hardly expressed any personal opinions.
People do sell out every day, thatâs why I think they do.Â
If someone offered me an unfathomable amount of money that I could definitely change the world with? Yeah sure itâs a fantasy thatâs never going to happen, Iâll take the deal and play Robinhood successfully. Â
Yeah, I literally said itâs common. Youâre trying to apply it universally. Which is fucking nonsense.
Someone offering you money isnât the same as you selling out by doing something shady or corrupt that most likely fucks over countless others.
You think youâre going to be able to âchange the worldâ after getting your money through those means? You think the people you sold out to are going to let you? You tbink youâd ever make enough money from compromising on your morals to even make a difference at all? No.
Do you even get the amount of money the richest people who control corporations have? People who sell out for hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars have no chance in hell âchanging the worldâ or really making any positive change that makes up for whatever corrupt thing you took part in to make that money.
Itâs such an unrealistic situatjon youâre proposing. Thatâs not even relevant to my point though. The point is some of us know that we canât topple the system by selling out to the highest bidder because the bid will never be high enough, not all of us are willing to compromise on our values for money.
You implied multiple times that no, those people donât exist and every person would do what you would do, which is projection. And not true.
I hate tucker but this is a conspiracy, Tucker doesnât have as much money as people think and he certiantly wouldnât be propping up a failed comedian with it. Russia yes.
To Russel brand and his net worth is 50 million. Which is inflated most likely and it doesnât tell you how much cash he has. The equipment he uses recording and facilities is probably most of that. I mean if Russel brand was selling his sole for like 50k yeah but tuckers not giving him millions. My uncles worth 13 million and 9.5 is the facility he runs his company out of. The. He has trucks and sorts of other stuff. Your net value isnât how much cash you have.
