What old billionaires from the south and made their money from exploitation, are racist?! Never would have guessed
They should be disowned. As should be everyone who made money from slavery, war profiteering, etc.
That's most of the establishment. Even new money people are mostly crooks. And then you get people like Rowling who make money honestly and join the far right cult of the wealthy.
Definitely a lot of them. Our world has a problem with morality. It’s not ok to cross a red light but it is okay to have made millions working for the nazis somehow (for example). I don’t care about the jk rowlings of this world. Being a dumbfuck is not morally bankrupt but using slave labor definitely is and even has been when it was legal.
