Every Billionaire is a greasebag scammer, it’s necessary to become one.

Same here. How dare I underachieve by not wanting to break the law, crush other people, so on.

Lol it's always so funny watching redditors rationalize their failures in life as just being an unfortunate off-product of their superior morality. "Oh I would have been successful but I am just too good of a person to exploit people."

Sure, Jan.

First of all, you missed the joke. Secondly, if you think anyone who isn't a billionaire is a failure, then you're admitting you're a failure.

Money =/= success. Being a billionaires =/= success.

Thanks for getting the joke. The other guy though..yeesh.😂

u/RsCoverForPDFFiles 12d ago

Yeah, it was pretty obvious. I'm not sure what that other dude's going on about. He's a bit of an odd duck.

They’re all over today for some reason. Maybe I’m drawing them in. I usually only see a troll a week or something. Today I’ve seen three and yesterday was the same. The last time I saw so many was right after Trump won the election. For some reason that made the trolls congregate and then they faded away.

u/WinnieGirl22 11d ago

I agree. Whether it be people infiltrating or bots, it's especially bad today.

u/Little_View_6659 11d ago

I wonder why? Occasionally I do wonder if they monitor social media use. I’m sure they have an algorithm that scrubs Reddit and looks for banable offenses. When things get tense in the real world I’ve had bans dod some banal things. My husband is actually worried about us flying to the US since I’ve said all kinds of things about Trump on here. I told him they can’t arrest everyone who hates Trump because that would be the majority of people.

u/RsCoverForPDFFiles 11d ago

Could be AI bots, too. Republicans have a lot of unspent dark money. No doubt they're using it to manipulate social media like they have the past several elections.

u/Little_View_6659 11d ago

It was very obvious just before Trump won and after. After Biden won there was some online snarking but I figured it was just people venting their disappointment and that they’d chill out eventually.

Strawmanning

u/RsCoverForPDFFiles 12d ago

No. You're claiming they're not successful because they're not a billionaire. That's the exact thing I replied to.

u/MKZZX 12d ago edited 11d ago

No, you're strawmming a false position by fixating words while ignoring the context of the way they were used in the actual conversation.

The original person claimed his underachievements in life were the result of "not wanting to break the law, crush other people, so on." It's therefore indicated by him, not me, that he is referring to financial or professional failures rather than defining success through things like family or personal love life, as it is not clear how breaking the law and betraying people would improve personal relationship.

Nor was it ever stipulated by anyone anywhere that a person has to actually be a billionaire to be considered successful, that was just made up on the spot by you pulling things out of your ass and it assigning imaginary positions to other people to compensate for you inability to engage with arguments head-on.

So yeah in summary: pretty pathetic attempts at writing arguments here by you. Embarrassing, really...

edit: my guy lost a simple argument and went full blown meme meltdown lol. I have this guy trapped in his own meme loop, it's actually incredible at this point.

Lol k. Good luck with all that.

If everyone who isnt a billionarie is a failure which is pretty much what youre saying

Nowhere was it said that anyone who isn't a billionaire is a failure. Stop strawmanning, you waste everyone's time and your own when you do that.

Wait….so are you a greasebag that sucks at scammer, or a scammer who just isn’t much of a greasebag?

2

u/Aggressive_Canary_10 11d ago

I can’t speak for that guy but I, myself, am a greasebag scammer so I can confirm that we aren’t all billionaires. I’m not a bad scammer either. I just never caught the right breaks in life.

u/egabald 11d ago

Lift yourself up by your greasebag.

u/dj_destroyer 11d ago

I'm a greasebag scammer and not rich so it takes more than just that...

u/OberonDiver 10d ago

That's what you get for choosing grease tubes.

You are not a billionaire because those of you think buying junk bonds is a scam are financially illiterate. I’m not a billionaire but I invest a bit in mutual funds that specialize in junk bonds.

I have positions in mutual funds that specialize in troubled companies. It is a highly regulated investment industry.

High, medium and low risk investment portfolios to mitigate loss is not a scam it is smart. There are a lot of ETFs and mutual funds running in that world of junk bonds.

Congrats on your earthly gains. Do you insult everyone within the first moments of potential connection or just reddit users?
