    The Pentagon also approved funding for content involving YouTube star Jimmy Donaldson, a.k.a. MrBeast, who was slated to lead a humanitarian effort in Puerto Rico.

    What a headline, what an article.

          He puts himself first with his charitable exploitation porn. I’m sure he deserves to be a billionaire.

            Still better than Kim Kardashian or Elon Musk.

                That’s a silly argument. You can objectively compare virtually any two things.

                You’d really not care if someone said they’d clone Kim Kardashian or Elon Musk but you had to choose one?

                  Well my diarrhea yesterday was chunky and today it’s straight liquid. Both are shit. Kinda like Mr.Beast and any of the other fame whores.

                    Do you honestly not find one preferable?

                    That’s the discussion we’re having: do lessers of two evils exist?

                    Obviously they do. Anyone arguing otherwise is just arguing for arguing’s sake or is painfully and hilariously naive.

                  So you’re saying the objective take that billionaires suck is less accurate than your one billionaire sucks less?

                    You seem to have forgotten the context of the conversation and fallen in love with fighting with me.

                    Which is better:

                    • A rich person who gives to charity

                    • A rich person who does not

              Not really. He treats the people who work for him like complete garbage, denying them basic human rights during some production situations. Not just workers rights, basic human rights like water and access to their own medications.

              You have no reason to defend him.

                Luckily I’m not.

                Saying a turd sandwich isn’t as bad for you to eat as a glass sandwich isn’t defending the turd sandwich.

          Only less than the profit he made. He’s also a fraudster and abuser and deserves to be in jail.

            The sweepstakes fraud is just… Rampant. I’m surprised he’s gotten away with it for so long.
