This is a huge red herring. Why are we going after celebrities? Unless those celebrities are Taylor Swift or Paris Hilton or any celebrity billionaire they're on our side. The only war is class war. As someone whose net worth is negative, I have more in common with Brian Cranston and Zendaya than any of the billionaires class who we should actually be fighting.

I don't know if OP is doing this on purpose or not but posts like this help the enemy. This kind of thing feels really suspicious. Like it's really trying to point at left leaning actors that speak out against the billionaire class during the Oscars or whatever.

Yep. The difference between 1billion and 1million is typically rounded to 1billion.

So from the Epstein class POV, indeed not much difference between celebrities and commoners. They just have more followers.

I too hate it when people campaign for charities unless they themselves have made themselves destitute.

They are damned if they do and and damned if they don't. If they don't then people lambast them for not utilizing their platform. If they do then they're sticking their nose into not their business and not donating enough no matter how much they donate. There's no way to win for them, then again being a public figure is a curse and guarantees there's always someone who's going to be disgruntled.

I say all publicity for a good charity is good and all giving is good. If someone makes 100K and gives 50 that's awesome, if someone makes 40k and gives 20 that's also awesome, all donations are good to a worthwhile cause and charity.
