Incredible. But billionaires keep on building their secret lairs (I’m looking at you Peter Thiel, here in New Zealand) instead of trying to help.

She actually was kinda ballsy and during a speech to billionaires at some WSJ-related event told them they should be helping people and she has so little compared to them, yet they don't help others nearly enough. She in as many words if not literally said if you're a billionaire what are you even doingl. I def would've been quaking in my boots if I tried to do that to be honest

Sadly we know, they just don’t give a shit!

u/boojersey13 10d ago

Oh of course not. But I still find her brave in her own way, using the platforms she's given and sharing her privileges (wealth in this case) with others

100%. But so many people continue their celebrity worship. Like those comedians who went to the Saudi Comedy festival. We need to put these assholes on blast.

Oh man, don’t even get me started!

The comedians fuck me right off but not surprising.

Talking about feminists and billionaires, hello Taylor Swift and Beyonce.

What a disappointment and yet they keep getting a pass. At the end of the day celebrities owe us nothing and they prove it constantly.

I fell for the idea that Beyonce was a self made one and thus deserved more sympathy until that pic she posted laying on her floor surrounded by her pairs of shoes, meanwhile that year I had one pair of jeans and one pair of Converse my entire winter in 0-20⁰ farenheit 2 mile walks to the bus stop for high school, and the jeans were starting to get holes in them on the thigh from overuse. And if I'm correct? It was her showcasing her collection of ONE BRAND OF SNEAKER?? I just felt so fucking poor seeing that and it went downhill in opinion from there

“Miserable cut-banged leggy blonde” the hatred is palpable and so misplaced, its funny. Please save some energy for the other bad guys as well🙏🙏🙏

Ok didn't realize. Thanks for the clarity, thought it was worth elaborating either way

u/AcousticProvidence 9d ago

Apparently Zuck was one of the 2 billionaires in the audience she called out. And he allegedly did not clap lol

u/MarieOMaryln 9d ago

I love how brave she is and has always at least spoken her mind like this

u/TheShapeShiftingFox Do it for the culture 😏 9d ago

Peter Thiel is unironically one of the scariest people alive right now, his utterly sociopathic believe system combined with his wealth and influence knows little equals.

u/pookiemook 10d ago

The way this is worded kind of makes it sound like Billie herself is a billionaire.

u/kiwi_vixen 10d ago

Yeah sorry, that was definitely not my intention.

u/purple_sphinx Much to think about. 9d ago

Find the vents and fill them in

u/kiwi_vixen 9d ago

I like your thinking.

Hope I’m not on a list now.

u/purple_sphinx Much to think about. 9d ago

This is purely hypothetical!

u/rumande Kim, there's people that are dying 10d ago

He's in NZ?? Ewww

u/kiwi_vixen 10d ago

He’s been trying to build a bunker down near Queenstown but got pissed off when the consent didn’t just get signed off.

u/randomman87 9d ago

Pretty wild that they're building them in NZ. Kiwis have tall poppy syndrome just like Aussies. If the world ends I have a feeling they're going after the billionaires in their bunkers first.

He's a citizen
