      Plus, horde wealth like dragons just for the sake of feeding their addiction to more. I suspect going from having a billion dollars to having 100 million dollars would have a negligible impact on their quality of life or their toys. It’s just a few less zeroes on their bank account or stock portfolio, but those zeroes are so goddamn important to them.

        More than dragons. The richest dragon that you can run into in D&D or Pathfinder will be a Chaotic Evil Red Ancient Wyrm. If you got to them before they start eating their hoard, they will have at most 3-5 million gold pieces. Let’s go for the high end of that. That’s 500,000 oz of gold. That comes out to $1,041,345,000. So even the absolute greediest personification of greed, rarely, if ever, manages to break a billion dollars of wealth, and that takes them 10,000 years to amass.

        These assholes are literally greedier than dragons.

    Man, that low IQ but high effort required to try to demonize people closest to the center. Lol!
    I guess all people domestic terrorists in the center must believe the left and the right are both correct. Wait… both incorrect…? Correct about some things and not others or vice versa…? Wait which is it again?
    Tell ya what , why don’t you whingers from the fringes just throw some more “high quality memes” at it till you got it all figured out.
    Seems like a great use of your time and then both you lefties and righties can bond about their common enemy, people Satan’s Minions in the center, you know, like the way twins would bond over it.
    🤡 show.

        Lol. For yourself, and others not paying attention, here’s a recap.
        The original post here isn’t actually about any particular policy, it’s about trying to throw shade at people from the center, and possibly imply some/all the woes of the world are the fault of centrist. Some might consider it offensive, or somewhat of an attack. A lot or a little, doesn’t matter, an attack none the less.
        Then I posted to show how people who choose to blame people with more centered views are, in fact, dipshits. Monkeys flinging shit instead of taking any kind of real action to change what they feel is wrong in society. And I’ll add, probably too frightened to actually take their true enemy head-on, and so then naively thinking that a centrist would somehow be more likely to roll over and agree, the easier fight. A hilariously misguided thought.
        And after my internet comment, a reply to an attack on a select group of society, the Einsteins come out of the woodwork and ask genius questions like, “wHy deFenSiVE?”
        It’s pretty comical 😆
