Former Facebook President Demands Sympathy for Billionaires

[Galraedia]

It takes a certain kind of cancerous troll to make comments that aim to empathize with the top 1% crowd during a seemingly endless economic recession, one in which millions of chronically unemployed and laid off Americans are forced to choose between eating out of a dumpster or using it for shelter. Usually such delusions of grandeur and blind avarice come out of the mouths of Republicans or Republican presidential candidates, but this time the honor goes to Sean Parker, the former president of Facebook.

The former president of Facebook and founder of Napster wishes all the thousands facing arrests and facial reconstruction of #Occupy Wall Street would take some time to understand all the many hardships that billionaires like him face on a daily basis.

“You guys are really attacking me for being the 1%?” the former Facebook president tweeted. “I was broke and couch surfing just a few years ago… I have a whole new set of problems to deal with now: security, extortion attempts, kidnapping threats, death threats, etc. Life better b4?“

4. So share some of your billions and then you won't be a target anymore

[arcane1]

5. Another one who just doesn't get it

Or he gets it, and is trying to re-frame it.

Either way, he's an asshole.

6. life better b4

7. I appreciate the line from Johnny be Good

but the same problem happens in that people making $150,000 expect people making $15,000 to have sympathy for their problems. Everybody does have their problems.

8. Hey asshole, I'll take your money if it's such a burden to you.

And you can go back to that good life you had before.

9. Fuck him, rich whiny shit-stain.

Aww...it must hurt to be so rich. Poor little asshole doesn't think life is any better - well give it all away then! Ha right...again, fuck him.

10. Read 'The Spirit Level'. All classes are happier (rich too) with greater egalitarianism.

[blogslut]

11. One thing thou lackest

...go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven.

[Celebration]

12. He isn't asking for sympathy

I didn't read it that way. He is saying that he is the same person that he was when he was poor, and that money doesn't buy happiness. Given that, he could share it of course, but we don't know. He might be doing that.
