    This is liie the killing thing, kill one perosn its.murder, kill several thosand you’re a war hero.

    Fuck over one kod, you’re a monster, fuck over millions you’re the Presodent of the US, or in charge of a bank or medical insurer.

    These asshats get this rich by being like this, not sure why the angst in this specific case.

      people are simple, especially emotionally.
      show someone a powerpoint presentation about how this guy is stealing from millions of children: little to no response.
      a clear video of him stealing directly from a child: people mad.
      plus there’s a lot of videos of people catching a baseball and giving it to the nearest kid… having some sports hero’s hat as an adult is nothing compared to the joy a kid would get out of it.

      Not sure why the angst?! Do you not understand psychology 99?? People relate FAR MORE to 1v1 situations like this than the 1vX situations like capitalism.

      The same is true in a positive direction, too. That’s why it’s “The Hero’s Journey”, not “The Proletariat Won”.
