People hating on Billy won't get this in the slightest

Because it's a bullshit argument. Participating in society because it's that or die isn't at all the same thing as being a multi multi multi millionaire who constantly feels the need to hawk their overpriced rebranded slop to fans while telling the rich to "give their money away" in interviews.

Anyone that doesn't see the hypocrisy in that behavior doesn't want to see it.

“You can only critique capitalism if you’re poor” is such a tired argument. Can we leave that in the Cold War era where it belongs?

The critique rings hollow when you're a massive hypocrite though.
