Yeah, I find the scapegoating of executives (or anyone that has ethically acquired wealth) to be about as useful as the other side blaming brown people for their problems.

If we could only find an obscenely wealthy person of color, then we could all blame them. It would truly be a moment where both sides could come together.

Musk is not a part of enough marginalized communities. Probably needs to be a disabled non-binary gay trans female of color.

I think you can understand the difference in context, and how it could be read, right? I'm not expressing disdain for anyone other than racists. Your comment feels an awful lot like disdain for said marginalized communities.

I'm not expressing disdain either. I was really just riffing off of Gonch's joke, and it was intended to come across as just as absurd. Because...it is.

Was Gonch expressing disdain?

Oddly enough, I was.

Disney isn't the only one that hates poor people.
