@_L1vY_ I sometimes wonder if being horrible people, helps them get the money, or if getting the money tends to turn them in to horrible people. maybe it's a bit of a feedback loop.

@angiebaby Ah! ☝🏻 Not money, but the PURSUIT of money, is the root of all evil! 😆

@angiebaby @_L1vY_ Perhaps not the love of, but the fixated and psychotic obsession WITH! 😉😂

@MattMerk @angiebaby @_L1vY_ I agree with all of you, but I am leaning most towards @MattMerk's comment: I call them wealth hoarders for a reason.

@cjpaloma @MattMerk @_L1vY_ All hoarding is mental illness. We just happen to reward it when it involves large sums of money.

@angiebaby @cjpaloma @MattMerk @_L1vY_ Right, but help without being asked is oppression, and how can we convince the hoarders to seek help? How can we convince them they are hurting sentient beings?

@admitsWrongIfProven @angiebaby @MattMerk @_L1vY_ In general you have a point, but when there's harm to others, IDGAF so much about the oppression of the person doing the harm. Should arsonists not be forced to treatment? how about pedophiles? I know -much- of forced treatment isn't hugely successful, BUT I have known lots of people who will say they hated being forced to anger management, but they learned skills from it. -I am a MH professional who has worked with lots of felons

@admitsWrongIfProven @angiebaby @MattMerk @_L1vY_ and no they weren't -all- just saying that to get brownie points…. Some people learned how to hold down jobs due to being remanded to treatment… OTOH, highly successful con artists are another story….no easy answers. I'd like to see jail time for lots more obscenely rich people.

@cjpaloma @angiebaby @MattMerk @_L1vY_ Arsonists, pedofiles and all the fascists should be stopped from doing harm. This does not include any judgement beyond the "doing harm" part. When we elevate ourselves to discern who is good or bad beyond the direct, observable harm category, what sets us apart from the fascists?

@cjpaloma @admitsWrongIfProvenI do not care about them continuing having a money hoarding disorder or not. It is irrelevant. We do not need to "cure" each billionaire personally, to arrest the harm being done to humanity.- They should be taxed at an ACTUALLY reasonable rate.- And their corporations should not be allowed to squeeze workers to death for a profit bonanza.Meanwhile they can think and feel whatever they want. 🤷🏻♀️ @angiebaby @MattMerk

@Hyolobrika @MattMerk @angiebaby @cjpaloma Archiving is not hoarding
