    You can imagine that calculating that correction (5 million children each year and even if we saved them with Musk’s money, he’d still have at least tens of billions left) did not move me to the right on the political spectrum.

    We don’t need lies to spread our story, only the fascists do. The truth is leftist enough.

    I’m onboarding onto Proton now (but WITH my own domain, so I’ll never have to change e-mails again (well, unless I turn out to be trans later and change my name)). For mail I’ve heard of Tuta, I think that’s the only serious alternative.

    A few hundred billion divided by a few hundred million is on the order of a thousand, not a million. More specifically: 421 billion divided by 340 million is just over 1200 dollars.

    Is doing simple maths impossible when the answer is something you don’t like? I thought that was a conservative-only disease.

    Be better, leftists!

    Instead, say:

    If we took Musk’s money and use it to help the poor, we would solve world hunger within a decade and prevent 5 million children from dying of hunger each year.

    The meme should be:

    5 million children die each year and Musk is the richest man in the world

    Vs

    5 million children are well-fed instead of dying of hunger but Musk only has a few tens of billions left

    Besides being correct, this has another advantage: it does not reinforce the idea that morals end at national borders.

    @SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world could you please make this meme? Or someone else?
