The other thing about that Mr Beast thread is the people in there, including the ones singing his praise, somehow think this 1000 blind people thing is the extent of his philanthropy or there isn't much more to it than that. In the last year, he:
.Saved an orphanage
.Rebuilt homes for tornado survivors
.Built houses for homeless families
.Gave $3 million in aid to Ukraine refugees
.Gave away 1 million meals to poor and homeless people
And that's just looking at stuff from his philanthropy channel that makes him a whopping 0 dollars and not his main channel which arguably have even higher scale philanthropic efforts. It doesn't count his absurdly impressive environmentalist activities that have no doubt helped the world.
"But what about his motives?" My unironic response to that is who fucking cares. Mr Beast not existing wouldn't suddenly feed those millions of people, planted those 20 million trees, gotten those Ukrainians aid, and on the lower scale side, given those 1000 people sight. None of those things would have happened while the brutal machine that is capitalism kept chugging along, chewing up and spitting people out with no sign of the thing breaking down.
In fact, even more people would fall victim to it, and something tells me that's what Era and these other terminally online leftists want. They'd rather a million people die just so they can say "see, told you your economic system bad while mine good!" instead of having someone working within that system saving 500 thousand of those people, a system that by the way isn't changing in our lifetime if ever. That's what happens when you have such a strict adherence to your black and white ideology; anything that defies your worldview has you attacking unequivocally good things.
If the guy starts using his wealth to harm people, then by all means shit on him. But until then, if the worst thing you can say about him is "he's doing this to feed his ego and whines about it on Twitter when it isn't fed", you're missing the forest for the trees.
