@solorina1354 the comments are such bcus there is a rightful social stigma against rich ppl flaunting their wealth. Its a dick move and you don't have to. They deserve to get robbed if they do...

@solorina1354 who said anything about making it a right? It's not about that. Thats not what 'deserved' means in this context. It's about actions and reactions. In the real world there are consequences for your actions, especially stupid obnoxious ones. Right or wrong, there will be some consequences ppl don't have to feel sorry for

@solorina1354 I'm sorry to break it to you but society has always been like this. Life isn't just crappy bcus of a morallIy degenerate society. Its crappy cus life is hard. Its hard for for most ppl to make a decent living. So ppl are disgusted when rich ppl show off. If there was more of this moral compass as you claim, these ppl wouldn't flaunt their money. If they get mentally scarred in the process then that's a net good. They won't do it next time. But even for our Italian lady friend, being scarred didn't seem to bother her. She still continued doing it so 🤷‍♂️

@christopherzhou5361 Exactly you said it. Because they THINK its safer to do it on SM, when what we watched proved that's not the case. That shows the poor kind of character they have. I.e if they could get away with it, they would flaunt their wealth. That's really despicable and incredibly disrespectful This isn't abt it being justified or right or wrong. In the real world where ppl struggle to make ends meat, actions have reactions. Especially stupid ones. The consequence of their actions is what they deserve

@solorina1354 You can do what you want with your money but everyone knows there is a right way to use it. Thats what we're talking about here. We're talking abt using in the wrong way and there being consequences. And you seem to be arguing that they don't deserve the consequences of their actions. Its not abt being jealous. Its abt it being disrespectful to flaunt your wealth. Its about taking advantage of young ppl to make them value opulence over a quality life. Again if you don't do it in the street, why do it on SM? Cus they think there is no consequence, plus they can make even more money doing that. You know damn well they wouldn't be walking around casually with huge bundles of cash in hand outside. Yet they do it on SM? The rape analogy isn't a good one as well. Rapists tend to have a type or just act on opportunity so they won't just target women who wear revealing clothes. Even if you are walking alone in a bad neighbourhood, nothing abt you says 'come rape me'.That's just opportunity. If you are on SM showing off, that tells ppl you have disposable income. Its literally complicity AND opportunity. You are literally asking for it

@gregdahlen4375 if rich ppl have problems then they should act like it. If they act like they they have no problems in the world and post it on SM why shud we have sympathy for them? If they want to be treated humanly they need to show humanity to others..

@gregdahlen4375 bro you shouldn't talk abt your success to everyone on the Internet. That's common sense. But that's not what we're taking abt here. It's abt flaunting your money in public. It's incredibly disrespectful

@kaybenny4669 You sound a little too immature to be lecturering anyone abt how to make it in life. No one is mad. They just don't have sympathy which is 100% understandable. There are real ppl struggling in this world and its easy to forget that and talk abt 'getting your money right'. In the real world its not easy. If you flaunt your wealth, others will definitely see what you have and want to take it. Thats why your life's work can't be making money being an influencer.

@delorbb2298 I don't think anyone wishes them physical harm. But if the most they suffer is losing some 💵 and some mental trauma then I'm all for it 😂. They should know better. Besides, if the criminals aren't stealing from them, they'll come for the rest of us!

@elliottpowell5130 you think they have a nice life bcus they have money?

@gregdahlen4375 your missing the point. Young ppl will look bcus they want that lifestyle. Almost everybody does. Thats why these influences are able to make money doing it. And they know that At the same time you know why these same influences don't walk around showing off large bundles of cash? Or anyone else for that matter? Cus they know they'll get robbed in no time! Yet these same ppl do it on SM. You don't see the hypocrisy there? That's OK for you? If you wouldn't do it in real life why would you do it on SM? Cus they benefit from it. They benefit from people seeing it online. It's not about being forced to look at it. It's about being sold a dream 90% of youths will never attain and showing off while at it. It might sound mean but this is real life son. Someone always wants what you have. That rule applies to ALL of us. These ppl act like the rules don't apply to them. They do deserve it in that respect

@elliottpowell5130 yeah cus that's what you insinuated. Nobody hates wealthy ppl. Ppl hates wealthy who show off

@christopherzhou5361 rules as in common sense street smarts. If you don't flash cash around on the street, why it on SM? I think you know the answer....

@delorbb2298 first of all, I was half joking so the rant was unnecessary. Everything you said is obviously objectively true. Second maybe she didn't deserve yo get terrorized, but she did deserve to get robbed. That was just an unfortunate byproduct of her getting robbed. Don't flaunt your wealth. Enjoy it privately
