>>131046165I don't mind rich heroes, but Ollie being a lib while being one is some super hypocritical shit>>131046187Batman's just one of many rich heroes.

>>131046267>all multi billion dollar mega corporations are on the leftAll multi billion dollar mega corporations set public messaging to what makes them the most money for the least effort and internal policy for what costs them the least money for the least effort. Which is how you end up with allegedly woke corporations using literal kidnapped and held at gunpoint child slave labor to make their shit. Acting woke sells more than acting conservative and neither requires principles.

>>131046252Axis was stupid but honestly most people forget it rather than support it. If the Illuminati aren't kiboshing it just like Reed does to keep the status quo then it wouldn't be done in comics because it defeats the writer's soapbox. It's the same reason we have a new "trans" mutant when they could get a biological female body for free on Krakoa without going to the Crucible either.

for a long time comics were stupid and assumed you needed to be a millionaire to be an effective vigilante a la batman and green arrow Nowadays affluence is not looked upon kindly and wealth is seen as distasteful if flauntedSuperheroes ideally should live like rorschach or borderline poorfag status like daredevil whenever his life gets destroyed

Billionaires are largely hated nowadays because they use their wealth in incredibly ridiculous fashions Its their money they can do whatever they want with it but comic book shit should largely not try to emulate what is regarded as distasteful in modern society

Poorfags writing wealthy characters is a form of escapism.

>>131046267they are absolutely notYou are just a low info idiot who don't look past the optics during things like pride month to see how corrupt and conservative most of these corps are

>people who have more money than me are evilThis is why I think leftists are a joke

>>131046165>If society at large agrees billionaires are intrinsically evil, why so many heroes are rich?Because billionares fund publishers.

>>131046409economic liberalism and neoliberalism are exactly why we have so many billionaires. the libs told the billionaires flat out, "nothing will fundamentally change". you're thinking of lefties and commies.

>>131047462Want to know something funny? Most communists tend to come from middle to upper class backgrounds

>>131047462Corporations are also leftist the other 11 months of the year as well.There is zero difference between your politics and theirs.

>just give up all your money if you want to fight the corrupt rich and powerful>oh you gave up all your money well now you're poor and powerless so you can't effectively fight and win against the rich and powerfulDude owning a fridge is like hypocrisy man

>>131047468People who partake in systems where they profit disproportionately off the labor of others are evil. The fact that every action and transaction we make as humans is twisted into a pyramid scheme where some rich fuck sits at the top shitting on everyone else, telling us we should be thankful for whatever dribbles down our way; I am disgusted with capitalism right now.

>>131046165> If society at large agrees billionaires are intrinsically evil, why so many heroes are rich?Because they are outdated holdovers from 80+ years ago when the perception of the rich was very very different.

>>131047652No other system has ever existed.

>>131047652how exactly do you think things work under communism?the more the free market is destroyed in favor of corporatism, the more it becomes indistinguishable from communism, which is why the WEF, Black rock, and Vanguard are full of marxists

go away Holla Forums

>>131047652>People who partake in systems where they profit disproportionately off the labor of others are evilWhy?

>>131046186There is an ancient expectation towards immorality from the rich. That they have so much while others go without has been condemned explicitly in the Bible, for example.Even the hoarding of wealth itself is seen as the ultimate manifestation of success in the mortal sin of greed. It's also generally accepted you don't become a billionaire through good works.

>>131047788Talk is cheap, calling something bad or evil is not "doing good". What do you propose?

>>131048324Power itself is evil.

Job created. Grug is not a billionaire, he just happens to have something Brug wants. The very concept of a "billionaire" is a fairly new thing in human history. Not even the wealthiest of kings before the modern age could measure their wealth in *billions* of coins or currency.

>>131048266It does. They're both operated by joined by people

>>131048339What about the power to do good? Did Mother theresa have power to help orphans?

Try again.>how can you fight the man if you are the manWhilst romantic this is how you institute change. You become or convince the man. Fighting the man marks you as a threat and starting a revolution just puts worse "the man"s in charge because a peasant has no power base to seize control with.>>131046187I think they're talking about Tony since Batman doesn't make weapons more often than shark repellent, explosive goop (if it's a video game), street racing cars and supercomputers that are incredibly illegal for both their invasions of privacy and snooping on government databases.>>131047540>Want to know something funny?It's funny because they're not communists and would be the first ones against the wall with the return of machismo communism (which includes real anarchism).>>131047652>where they profit disproportionately off the labor of others are evil.What is disproportionately?

>>131048358You don't know what that term means do you?

>>131048375>Mother TheresaYou really don't want to bring her up in an argument.

>>131048337>Just work up an economic system that prevents the formation of a wealth gap and exploitation of the lower classes, I'm waitingThe classic, "don't criticize the thing if you cant make/do it yourself" argument. I'm sure I could lay down a sloppy groundwork with lots of holes to exploit, because people are always going to try and hoard power where they can.

>>131048368>Everything that involves people joining is the same?So when your mom joined a gangbang was she part of a corporation or a union?

>>131048380...What exactly do you think a job is? It's a trade of labor for resources (usually money, but also things like benefits). As long as Grug needs something, and he's got the resources to pay Brug, Brug has a job.

>>131048443Why yes, the only difference is how they're incorporated

>>131048375There's no such thing as the power to do good. It's a contradiction.

>>131048475What do you think centrism is, exactly?

>>131048468No retard. The purpose of a corporation is to generate profit. Corporations have a legal obligation to provide profit to shareholders.Unions are a group of workers who band together to increase their bargaining power to attain better working conditions.

>>131046165In the real world, billionaires are nothing less than supervillains. In comic books, anyone is anything a writer wants them to be. If you can make up a fantasy where a man flies and is strong enough to juggle planets, you can easily make up a fantasy where a billionaire is a good-guy.

>>131048388>What is disproportionately? Do you wish for a worker to be paid the exact amount of wealth they create, thereby destroying any reason to employ someone?I mean, it should be close to it. People should be compensated fairly for their time and not forced into a lower quality of life because someone is willing to game the system above them.

>>131048498centrism is when you align your regime with the marxist BLM rioters, and send the FBI after parents protesting marxist CRT indoctrination instead

>>131048481No lunch breaks. She gets her fill of meat and cream whilst on the job.

>>131046165My response to this cunt would be...> "I am not fighting the man's existence, I am just fighting when they do wrong. Being successful and reaping the rewards of such isn't wrong. Social Justice means to protect & elevate putupon people not tear down innocent successful people".

>>131048522 Not all corporations are public and thus have no shareholders and the literal definition of a corporation is just one or a group of people who form an entity together.

>>131048464That's not a job though mouth breather. You merely described a trade

>>131048334>That they have so much while others go withoutThey have so much because they did something to earn it. Namely giving the "do withouts" a job and way to provide for themselves and their jobs.

>>131048575If you think having the mentally ill around weapons is a good idea then you're stupid and right wing values are based on individual freedom, not a large state, that's the lefts forte

>>131048533Exactly right.CEOs are paid over 351x that of the average worker.CEO pay has risen over 1000% since the late 70s.

>>131048588Again, what do you think a job is?

>>131046165This is fucking retarded. Social Justice would be helping others not punishing myself.

>>131048339Craven post, the worst thing is that you actually believe this, and don't realise that it is a lie designed to disempower you and rob you of agency. Sad.

>>131048571All the major corporations are publicly owned. If the Corp is not public owned then just replace the word shareholders with ownerCorporations only care about profit. Unions care about workers rights.

>>131048612>CEOs are paid over 351x that of the average worker.Because they take all the risk and have to manage everyone else below them and if they mess up the entire company is destroyed and everyone falls. Their reward is proportional to the scale of the task they do.

>>131047788you're a faggot that has misanthropic, edgy opinions about humanity coming solely from your autism, lack of social power and bitches. you suck and you know you suck, so you invent this elaborate cope of you being some rebel against the icky human beings and their "nature". you're just a loser bro, you'll fell better if you admit it to yourself rather than pretending to be morally superior

>>131048612You're paid relative to your skill set and responsibility. The CEO has a skill set that's high in demand but low in availability. The grunt retard doing unskilled work can quit and be replaced the next day

>>131048533You're paid what you're worth and contrary to what you believe you aren't entitled to a standard of living that you can't provide for yourself.

pardon me, this is the board for comics, right?

>>131048660>Because they take all the risk Getting millions of golden parachute even if you get kicked out isn't a risk>and have to manage everyone else below them Management doesn't justify getting hundreds times the amount hard working men and women who break their bodies working for you get>and if they mess up the entire company is destroyed and everyone falls.LOL no, you just fail to get the stock options you were promised (which you probably were inflating artificially by stock buybacks rather than investing the money in development or hiring more people) and at worst are forced to leave with a lucrative exit package.

Why is everyone discussing this obviously off-topic political thread? Ah, of course. It's 4chan. Forget what I just said.

>>131048607>If you think having the mentally ill around weapons is a good idea then you're stupidWhat has that got to do with the left-right divide?>right wing values are based on individual freedom, not a large state, that's the lefts forteThe founding fathers were right wing and King George was a left wing nutjob? Hmm...

>>131048660Except that's often not true. CEOs retain or increase their salary even when a business is failing.How many times have you seen corporations lay off thousands of people and still reward the CEO with a bonus.CEO's being paid more than the average worker is fine. 351x the average worker is just stupid.

>>131048691The CEO is not worth 351 times the average worker in any circumstance. No matter how menial the job.

>>131048730When you're done projecting, feel free to join the rest of us in the real world

>>131048792That's not even a real response, faggot.

>>131048783Says who? You? Your opinion doesn't matter. An individual with the skillet to run a company is going to negotiate high for themselves because they know what they have to offer is floating around en masse. You're paid what you're worth, not what you think you're worth

>>131048805Your response was a straw man, it doesn't warrant an actual reply

>>131048575>Everyone is eligible to die for their countryBut said transgenders and even women don't fit the basic quotient for army physical tests and effectively become purse puppy benchwarmers that desert when called up.>No-One is allowed to resist the stateThen why is the left going for gun control but the right isn't. Also why is the left making Jan 6 propped up like it was a second holocaust when it's entire thing was people resisting the "state"?>The State Demands More MoneyHate capitalism as much as you want but conservatives often want the government to have less money outside of military defense. Biden's tax plan doesn't even affect the corps he claims to despise, just the workers as that money is already held against their paychecks anyway in the W-2 form on top of extra taxes that get kicked down for the worker to pay for. Don't believe me, look at the food delivery service industry. Instead of paying the tax Washington State, California, Chicago, etc put on them, they just add it as an extra fee for the consumer to pay which goes directly to the government not the worker.>TL;DREven if you're trolling, you're just shilling for corpo cock fucking everyone in every hole they can find.

>>131048309>it's (direction) so it doesnt countdo americans really?

>>131048765Because the CEOs job remains just as vital and urgent even during dire times.> CEO's being paid more than the average worker is fine. 351x the average worker is just stupid.The average worker does 1 job, the CEO is responsible for making sure thousands if not hundreds of thousands of jobs mean/accomplish anything at fucking all.

>>131048710If you believe that certain jobs don't have to provide a living wage, then you believe that some jobs require you to live in poverty.

>>131048765Because the CEO takes all of the blame when things go south. Your average worker can be easily replaced

>>131048812Yes, me faggot. I'm not stating someone else's opinions am I?I'm saying that Capitalism as it stands is broken. The incestuous "failing upwards" nature of corporate executives are a cog in the wheel of that shit. CEO pay is wildly inflated.

>>131048821Cop out.But for the record it wasn't even me making that comment you "replied" to.

>>131048846I believe the term living wage is arbitrary and loaded. I believe you get what you deserve and you aren't entitled to something just for existing. If you aren't willing to put the effort in to obtain then you don't deserve it. Finally "poverty" here in the US is Shaniqua with her 8 spawn living in government housing, collecting welfare, and food stamps and doing just the bare minimum to keep getting that assistance so I don't particulate sympathize with people living in "poverty"

>>131048364Are you fucking serious? Power like anything else scales in relative terms, so the king of old times was a billionaire of the past, and had more power than any billionaire alive today. Grug doesn't need to have billions of shiny rocks, he only needs more than Brug to be a rich man by comparison. The actual number is arbitrary, it's the proportion that matters,

>>131048932Also your position is just as emotional.You "believe" CEOs deserve to be paid more money because of an ill defined skill set that warrants 352 times worker pay.You're not going to ever be a fucking billionaire but you're simping for them.Even if my opinion is partially emotional, I'm on the side of poor and exploited workers.

>>131048939I accept your concession>>131048959You think capitalism is broken. I'm telling you the majority of us don't care about what you think. You aren't the arbiter of what does and doesn't work

>>131046165> If society at large agrees billionaires are intrinsically evil, why so many heroes are rich?

By definition the left can't.>Biden's tax plan doesn't even affect the corps he claims to despise, just the workers>an extra fee for the consumer to pay which goes directly to the government not the worker.Wait are you telling me an increased tax policy doesn't affect the rich owners of the economy (the right) but it affects workers (the left) and you think this is... a left wing policy?And to be more specific on the gun policy thing, it's just one of the many divide and conquer tactics to polarise voters into picking between the two incumbent parties. They make it a binary issue with no intent on solving it just to ensure votes for eternity.

>>131049002My argument isn't emotional. A person makes money based on their skillet, that's logic. If your skill set is not valuable, you're not going to get paid much. That's simple cause and effect. If that's too hard for you to wrap you're head around then that sounds like a personal problem

>>131049042I'm not going to go round the fucking bend on this againI'm saying that a CEO's skill set DOES NOT warrant 351x the average worker pay and CEO's salary increasing by over a 1000% over the last 40 years is wrong.Just because it happens doesn't make it right.

>>131049047Mansa's actual wealth is difficult to evaluate. The claim that he had $400 billion is dubious, coming from a celebrity site with little sources. Actual historians think that Mansa's wealth is either impossible to accurately estimate due to a lack of data or is vastly exaggerated due to the hyperbolic manner in which contemporary Islamic writers of his time wrote of him, as he was a fascinating anomaly that showed up on his hajj and bankrolled Egypt. Even then I don't know what you're getting at given that he was renowned for his generosity, giftgiving and his sponsorship of both intellectual scholars and public construction works. He was by all means a nice guy.

>>131049053No it fucking ain't, cunt. Capitalism is supposed to be about competition and competition has been killed by corporations.All you dumb fucks keep saying you don't care about my opinion.

>>131046187The answer is because Batman doesn't want to. He doesn't want to "fix" Gotham. If Gotham stops being a crime ridden shithole, Batman can't put on his onesie and play superhero anymore.

>>131048812>An individual with the skillet to run a companyCompanies are run by boards and committees, not individuals. CEOs are generally trustfund babies who are handed a high paying position and title just like the peerage used to hand down titles of nobility (with large fiefs of course) to their progeny. You think every Duke and Baron was (is) some highly skilled noble businessman?Funny enough it's mostly the exact same families from hundreds of years ago who were lording over the peasantry who now sit on corporate boards and committees. It's not a skillset or a talent that keeps them in those positions, it's the sheer momentum of generational wealth and power and setting up safety nets like government bailouts that were set up long ago to make sure their spawn stay on top no matter what. You will NEVER become a billionaire by talent or skill or work ethic or determination. It has never happened, and never will. It's all about the family you are born into.

>>131046165Economics don’t really work realistically in superhero stories.To be a millionaire isn’t easy, but it’s not impossible. Tons of people become millionaires simply through leveraging fifteen minutes of fame responsibly, or coming up with one single good idea. Basically every actor and singer who gets remotely popular becomes a millionaire. Tons of millionaires inherit their money too. And if you’re really frugal and responsible, and you have a very good job, it’s not utterly impossible to just work hard and save your money until you become a millionaire.Billionaires are another thing. To be a billionaire you have to have a constant stream of ever growing money. You become a multi-billionaire by being CEO of Amazon. I looked up the richest actor in the world, it’s a woman named Jami Gertz. Net worth is three billion dollars. She didn’t get that money from her acting work, it’s because she and her husband own the Atlanta Hawks.My point is, it’s impossible for Bruce to be a billionaire. His wealth comes from his fathers estate, he’s a trust fund kid, he doesn’t actually make executive decisions with his company. And it’s not like anybody can really decide what it actually is Wayne enterprises does.The reason he’s a billionaire is because he has to be in order to afford all that bat gear

>>131049332Batman wants to fix Gotham but he doesn't know how. He thinks that breaking some goon's nose every month is going to make crime go away, when in reality Gotham needs a brutal fascist government that practices racial purges and outlandish violence on criminals/dissenters of the state. They also need a police state that bans all civilian firearms possession, introduces copious amounts of red tape and bureaucracy to every single legal procedure and places the property of all citizen firmly in the state's possession at all times. Taxes must be extremely high for all, even the rich and powerful, who must be treated just as brutally as the common wagecuck. Every single person in Gotham must live in fear at all times. That is the only way to get rid of the absurd levels of crime.

>>131049308Spoiler: What you consider "money" is just imaginary numbers on a ledger. They can "make" as much of it as they like.

>>131049566Anon, the concept of being a Marxist cannot coexist with the reality of the people you listed as being Marxis being wealthy capitalists. Words have meanings. They have definitions.

>>131049407And there's nothing wrong with this. Rich people are human beings, and human beings usually want what is best for their kids, so they give them lots of money, so they don't have to worry about going broke, and can relax and enjoy life when they're young, as opposed to breaking their backs working like pops or grandad did back in the day. Only seething bitter commie faggots twist this into some insidious conspiracy so as to cope with their sour grapes, crab in the bucket loser bitchlord misery. They know deep down they're losers and their psychotic hatred for the rich the powerful or anyone with nice things is just an elaborate cope for their own faults.

>>131047986>do empty virtue signalling they're leftistsYes lets completely ignore that they're massive political donations are almost exclusively to the left side of the aisle and shitters like blackrock outright refuse to fund you if you don't meet their left leaning checklist for social engineeringIts only the fag flags that matter.

>>131049483what the fuck does this mean? if you've got some smarts you can look through their records and finances to find out where the money came from. there is always a trail and a trace no matter what

>>131049591They're not capitalists, they're wealthy marxists who hate the free market and want all economic and government powet consolidated under a single entity.You have no idea what capitalism or marxism are, because you get all of your beliefs handed to you from wealthy marxists, everything from transexualism to CRT.

>>131049474Lmao oh yes, yes they were. All you gotta do is look at their family history.Let's just go with Gates.He is sometimeslisted as Bill Gates, Jr., and sometimes as Bill Gates III. Both are wrong, according the documents. His father, grandfather, and great-grandfather are all named William Henry Gates, which would make him Bill Gates IVBill Gates' maternal grandfather James Willard Maxwell, Jr. was a prominent banker in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Mochs in Gates' genealogy link us to Guggenheims, Horbergers, Reuffs, and Wahls, proving they were also Jewish. Other names in Gates' extended line at this point include Selleck, Fry, Bates, Silvester, Cheseborough, Griffith and Turner. The name Selleck links him to Tom Selleck and Mick Jagger. The name Turner links him to artist J.M.W. Turner.The name Maxwell is also from the peerage, linking Gates to physicist James Clerk Maxwell. Bill's mother was a prominent Maxwell herself, being on the board of directors of First Interstate BancSystem. What this indicates to me is that the roots of the Gates' wealth comes from banking, not computers. In other words, Bill Gates would be obscenely wealthy even if computers had never been invented. You will find that all those other names are also prominent peerage babies, they just love to tell the "rags to riches" story to give the peasants hope that one day that could be them.

>>131046187>>131049332You realize that throwing money at the problem doesn't fix anything. Look at schools in cities with a night YOU KNOW WHAT population. No matter how much we spend, it just gets worse the higher the percentage of YOU KNOW WHAT. Gotham probably has studies that show the same thing.

>>131049625Anon thats literally by definition not marxism.

>>131049625Define marxism and capitalism for the class.

>>131049604>Yes lets completely ignore that they're massive political donations are almost exclusively to the left side of the aisleBullshit. Disney alone was funding multiple republican campaigns in Florida before the Don't Say Gay bill. Corporations fund both sides to buy and bribe politicians for influence.

>>131049604>Yes lets completely ignore that they're massive political donations are almost exclusively to the left side of the aisleThat is false.

>>131049627>You will find that all those other names are also prominent peerage babies,Proof it. And by some connections even you are connected to some millionaire, nearly everyone that has a family in western civilization for a century has. How did Bill Gates profit from his maternal grandfather? Did he get money from him, how rich was a Nebraskan banker? Was he a millionaire? No?

>>131049606See>>131049627It means they like to tell a story being a regular joe schmoe who made his fortune from hard work and skill, but the reality is that they were born with every resource and connection needed to do anything they wanted and would have been wealthy no matter what, even if they spent their lives sitting at home watching the idiot box.

>>131049625>marxism is state capitalismHmmmm

>>131049682Uncoincidentally, marxists almost always come from wealthy backgrounds, which is why they egomaniac retards with no clue how anything actually works.

>>131049591It absolutely can. Not him, but you can say one thing and do another, or use the current system as leverage to do another thing. I could say that you're not a real Marxist unless you refuse to get anything from corporations, food or clothes or anything, and you must work in co-ops and unions exclusively, but that's ridiculous and unfair. If these people want to push their views and agendas they need power to do so, in order to do anything to the system you must either become the system or bargain with the system. Destroying the system doesn't work and neither does moralizing or petulantly refusing to engage with the system out of some emotional principle. These rich men are much smarter than you and have figured out that they can use the system and its mechanics while at the same time resenting it and trying to steer it in another direction. So this is how Marxist-capitalists come about.

>>131049682This is doubly true if you're not American. European families have at least one rich ancestor whose wealth seemingly vanished at some point and the modern descendants now live modestly as working/middle class people.

I am certainly not related to any millionaires, so I know you're wrong already, though I can't prove my own lineage to a rando on the internet.

>>131049685I just don't understand how Marxists can deny the human capacity to self improve or change one's circumstances. There are dogs and cats that have more ambition and discipline than the average Marxist. It's like a fat person denying the existence of a self made fit person, claiming that they just have good genetics and that exercise magically found them while for some reason they can't eat healthy or work out. It's the same old sour grapes bullshit.

Because the US, and the actual ideology that is pushed by corporate America through its actions, is one of an aggressively capitalist environment thats bordering on privatized feudalism.

>>131049726I always love how conservatards think that pointing out that notable socialists weren't/aren't destitute is a slam dunk in any capacity to anyone but themselves. "You say you want better for the common man but you aren't a common man" rhetoric as a negative only makes sense if you believe the opposite which is that the wealthy or well off inherently don't care about the proletariat.

>>131049308Power. The people with that made a state that could literally make money, then set people to govern said state and profit off said money. With that said, it IS true that many rich people are indeed self-made, and many scions of wealthy families did not keep that wealth. But overall, it is common sense and reality that money is the best way to make more money. My own parents bought a load of property that essentially prints income as long as it can be leased.

>>131049893It doesn't matter what Marxism means, but the means of delivering it. Every single Marxist/Communist takeover in many nations has failed due to many varying reasons, but the biggest was that it threatened a monstrously powerful system with nothing more than ideals and slipshod violence, which won't work against something as deeply entrenched as capitalism. Instead, scheming and plotting made from the backstage is a far more efficient means of changing things in any system, rather than chimping out and trashing the place, then getting stomped once the powers that be take notice. So neomarxists peddle a system of authoritarian capitalism while at the same time harboring ideals of a different system. Some are merely posing for optics, others are believers but are smart enough to know that they can only make change if they get into the system and take control of it. It's a consequentialist approach wherein you take seemingly counter intuitive means of achieving a goal in the long term, using slow action as opposed to sudden violence as is the legacy of communist movements in many nations. Who knows what the system would look like after decades of Marxist infiltration and lobbying over a long period. It's not sudden change but its change nonetheless.
