Walmart’s Billionaire Heiress Buys Full-Page Ad Urging People To ‘Mobilize’ At June 14 Anti-Trump Protests
The 76-year-old Christy Walton has aligned herself with “No Kings,” an organization planning mass protests across the country this Saturday.
We welcome all bourgeoisie class traitors. Don't let the endless purity tests get in the way of success.
I think that's giving her way too much credit... She'll never be one of us
But the purity tests are a very real problem. Everyone moving the right direction today gets a pass. When they break off, they're fair game
Simple as that, we have to care about winning a hell of a lot more
This is a good attitude. The cynicism is well-earned, but ultimately self-defeating. Not all wealthy people are intentionally and actively hostile, and even if they are, sometimes it is effective to turn enemies into allies, maybe just temporary ones, or even just avoid fighting the least rewarding ones at all if it's not going to cost you anything and lets you combine your forces to focus on the battles that really matter. This is class war, and war calls for strategy. Fight smart and spend our limited resources wisely. Trump and Muskrat are about a million times more direct of a threat to our survival than JB Pritzker or the Waltons. You don't have to trust any of them, but it's a strategic blunder to waste time and energy attacking the ones who aren't attacking us. Don't depend on them if you don't have to, but let them try to help, if they can.
Well said. I'll take this or Gates or Buffett over the Murdochs, Musks, Kochs, Thiels of the world.
We need all the powerful allies we can get.
It helps when they say they'll get rid of their billions after death, like Gates recently said. I don't particularly trust them to actually do that, although his and Buffetts actions do suggest they don't just want to hoard wealth like an dragon. They like influence too much to prematurely give up that wealth, though.
Is it being a class traitor though? Maybe she just realizes that her dollars are worth more than rubles for a reason, a reason that is very much now in question.
If anyone should support the rule of law, it's the billionaires. We should all be on the same side against fascism.
Maybe. I don't know. I'm just asking questions.
This is the correct attitude.
Wow a billionaire paid for an ad, One Ad... From what half a second of her daily earnings...
Wake me up when it's an ad campaign.
So is maga gonna boycott walmart now?
Yes. Or try to. This is so weird.
Trumps tarrif policy is costing her millions a day, I wouldn't be surprised to see other billionaires come out against Trump, especially if they can hide their real reasons behind things like this.
Is she the one that has something like 100+ DUIs that she has had swept under the rug?
Least horrible billionaire.
A broken clock is right two times a day. The rich do not share our concerns.
Well, they share our concern of not wanting the economy to be completely obliterated by tariffs.
You know thing are bad when billionaires start being good.
This isn't "being good".
This is simply her acting against tRump out of self-interest which coincidentally also happens to be acting against the same source of problems that the rest of us face.
Not good. Acting on its own self interests, which isn't always a dure thing.
Those self interests aligning with ours, however, is, an indicator that this is not just an extinction level threat, because there are lots of those where they don't ever, but a fucking bad one.
There was probably nothing good in TV. She's gonna have her butler heat up some nice popcorn and enjoy the show.
If you look up 'disingenuous' in the dictionary, there's a picture of that woman.
Edited 'ingenuous' to 'disingenuous'. That's what I actually meant. Bloody proof-read, Almacca!
Could you mean disingenuous, or do you think she’s innocent and unsuspecting?
Fuck. Yes. Brain fart. That's totally what I meant. I'll edit it. Thanks
