Bill and Melinda Gates have given away $63.9 billion. I guess it’s time to lick their boots too.

Does one lawsuit with such allegations (keyword here, allegations, since you’re making the accusation the burden of showing these aren’t just allegations is on you) really erase literally all the countless of good things she did to give back to the community that raised her and more? And no, I’m not talking about her “silly little songs” as you put it

Did you know that you can still take pleasure and enjoyment from the arts while also not being satisfied with the system?

Like, I like music, I don’t like capitalism. Most people like music, capitalism didn’t create music. You can like music and be a socialist, I promise.

I might not have much in common with your mom, but we’re both part of the proletariat and we’d both love to grind on tony hawk. Likewise for all the differences between Dolly and Bezos, the important similarity is that they are part of the ultra wealthy capitalist class.

Too lost in the sauce to realize that one is philanthropic and genuinely cares for their community and people within lower classes. Would have been even richer had she not paid for industries, literacy programs, ect that benefited those around her. God forbid a person doesn’t give all their money away. 😭

The gist is that she stole surplus value from countless people. So many people have explained this concept in great detail that it seems like a waste of time to do it in the form of yikyak comments. I’m happy to recommend books if you’d like.

I’m sure Bezos gives away some amount of his hoarded wealth too, but I don’t really care. The issue is that no one needs $500 million dollars and the wealth should have gone to the workers in the first place.

A capitalist is someone who owns the means of production and makes their living by stealing the surplus value of workers. Doctors and engineers are not capitalists.

Anonymous OP 11w

Smart businesspeople don’t throw away their money, they create more value with it. Simply giving it all away is stupid and much more likely to end up causing problems when funding runs out. I get you may not understand how actual business building works or how money is managed but a fair amount of value was given to her workers, community, and businesses within Tennessee due to her actions. Value is negotiated by the employer and worker not just created by how long one works.

Nah I just like Dolly Parton because she made good music that I enjoy listening to, maybe if Jeff Bezos wrote Jolene you’d have a point, but Jeff Bezos didn’t write Jolene.
