If we lived in a civilized country, people like Mr. Beast who dangle wealth in front of poor people and demands they humiliate themselves for his entertainment would get you dragged into street and executed by a local union

i dont like mr beast, but there is a difference between him owning the orphan crushing machine, and him paying the people who own the orphan crushing machine for them to crush less orphans
Altruism for clicks has always put a bad taste in my mouth but for real his stuff is the worst. How can it be described as anything other than taking advantage of poor people
Or just confiscate all of his money and make him work a minimum wage job the rest of his life (or less than minimum wage like a restaurant server). Same with everyone in Congress. The only money they get is from their job, no donations, no stocks, etc.
My local IHOP runs his shadow restaurant. I had no idea until after I had ordered from Beast Burgers one day. I had no idea who he was until my niece told me who he was that night. Guess who doesn’t get my business now. Both IHOP and Beast Burgers.
I was thinking the other day that reality shows with cash prizes where you face danger like Survivor are kind of our gladiator games (except of course you volunteer to do the shows) but it's still people hurting themselves or making an ass of themselves for $.

Yes. but instead we live in the exact opposite of that, where he is lauded as genius boy-wonder business man & entrepreneur, for selling what essentially amounts to a reboot of ‘bum fights’ for kids. It serves as a very good temp check on the zeitgeist of the western imperial core tho
You know, not saying the man didn't come from money. At least he's trying, if even for entertainment. What bothers me is just how much more extreme are we going to allow these "games" to escalate until it literally is Hunger Games set in a country with no extradition, he's our generations WilliWonka

They compromise with getting fucked a little less hardef because they dont wanna argue.
*Taps the sign*:
That should be punishment enough.
"dangle" -> "dangles"
"get you" -> "get"
