        How is the death of anyone hilarious? Does it matter how much you have in your pocket book which will determine the level of hilarity to you? That’s cold. I surely hope you have more empathy in person.

          It’s a lot like Indian tech scammers and other people who steal as a way of making a living. Many people won’t have sympathy for a person who steals from old ladies falling down the stairs because he was carrying too many google play cards.

          A billionaire is more like the owner of a scam call center. They greedily hoard their resources and they exploit all of their workers by paying them less than they’re worth. They shape politics to benefit themselves at the expense of others.

          They are probably very young. People get less extreme in their views as they grow older (usually).

            just more complacent to the poor state of humanity due to a lack of energy to change, or because the old benefit from the status quo.

        No, it’s just a common saying that shows how people react to this sort of news. It’s a bit cynical but not untrue.

          “common saying”

          How the fuck is that a common saying? That’s a quote attributed to genocidal Stalin and it’s a complete bullshit statement. Whoever repeats a moronic statement (and also very wrong) is also a moron. Death of millions is not just a statistics, it’s a much bigger tragedy.

          Edgy idiots trying to be cool with statements of dictators

            Well i don’t assign its meaning. I’m just informing of what that phrase is. If anything. You’re the one appearing to be edgy with your unchecked emotion and tone of replies.
