Stop thinking of money as an abstract thing, its simply power. And power has many forms, ability to influence and control others, control governance, do what you want as you want, have your opinion heard over others, control others, etc. People need to stop considering rich people as people with money, theyre people with unfretted power and those people are generally wicked.
I guess…he was a celebrity comedian, not a politician or asshole billionaire. I was honestly surprised to hear about the sexual assault allegations when the first came out.
He had crafted a careful delibrate public image i guess.
He didn’t exactly have fuck you money. Celebrities lose everything they have all the time bcz their money is at the whims of being likeable and getting people to buy their shit.
I think what i failed to convey is I think the mentality and motivation is all the same, power and control, its just some people get it from being a celebrity, or having money, or being a politician or any mixture. End of the day its a lust for power and control over others.
Shitheads who spread this “women are liars” incel garbage are why so few rapes ever reach trial in the first place.
You really need to get yourself removed from whatever manosphere poison you’ve found yourself in, because it’s turning you into a terrible person. There’s no reason to believe a completely unfounded, unsupported conspiracy theory over the sworn court testimony of six victims plus many others who spoke out in public, other than pure vile misogyny.
Or maybe you want people to disbelieve women because you’ve got an unfortunate history of your own?

I feel like assholes who want fame and fortune are the core issue. When they get it, they’re then able to be assholes to other people and get away with it.
I will never understand how one can have so much money and success just to throw it all away for something so stupid and vile.

Money is power, and power corrupts. People come to think they are above law, and unfortunately, it is often the case.
I’d like to think I’d fuck off to some remote cabin personally, never to be heard from again.
Me too, if I suddenly ran into a lot of money, you just wouldn’t ever hear from me again.
Fame has it’s own kind of power to.

“become politically inconvenient”
Brand is not politically inconvenient. He just steered right when he saw the money.
Spoken like a true incel. Disgusting.
Anyone can see how gross and handsy he was while other people were present AND ALSO while being filmed.
It’s not hard to imagine how much worse he was behind closed doors.
Fame and fortune corrupt
I feel like assholes who want fame and fortune are the core issue. When they get it, they’re then able to be assholes to other people and get away with it.
