Easy money: Russian Zuckerberg provokes crowd fight over $160 notes
May 28, 2012 15:33
While Mark Zuckerberg is on honeymoon, his less romantically successful Russian colleague – founder of the country’s most popular social network VKontakte – seems to be splashing out on doubtful experiments.
Sure, the growing mantra as all the rich worldwide. If you want everyone to be more wealthy, then take away all the rules that have so far kept us at the top from seizing ALL of the wealth for ourselves. Give us the means to buck the rules of each country by creating global currencies and markets. Surely allowing us to do what we've been doing to an even greater extreme will make life better financially for all of you idiots chasing paper planes down below!
There should be a law against this ostentatious display of "power". Next time, the people should storm the building, rob the degenerate rats and throw them out of the window.

I blame Putin for this because he told the people time and again he will clean house in Russia but in fact United Russia is part of the this basic corruption. I saw today at the Ria Novosti website the Russian Communist Party had to remove a mayoral candidate in somewhere a city in Siberia because they found out he made a backroom deal with United Russia so that he will sell his seat for 1 Million dollars to United Russia! I am one of the strongest supporter of Putin’s return to the top job in Russian politics but evidence of using public money to subvert democracy and the fact the oligarchs are now openly humiliating the Russian people tell me Putin’s hold on power is not completely secure. We can see from this little ugly boy with most ugly face and probably ugliest soul playing with the dignity of the Russian people. This is fine with the liberal elite in Russia. It is not ok with the majority of the Russians people. This is one of the reasons the Communism is returning to Russia. It is my strongest believe if Putin fails to restore the dignity of the people and he fails to restrain the ugly ways of the most evil oligarchic elite—the people will take matters into their own hands. This little ugly boy needs to be driven out of Russia once and for all. He disgusts me.
This goes on to show that the rich don't need their money and they are not after the money. This shows that the rich want your obedience and your dignity. They want to dominate you like you are their slave, their property. They want to see you destroy each other for crumbs in order to feel self-important and self-powerful. Quit your job and stop buying their products. Life is not worth living if you have to part with your freedom, pride and dignity.
If the crowd had any sense of self-worth, unity and dignity. They would have picked up the money and then returned it to Durov while and tell him to stop littering. And I would have done that even if for me, $150 would make the difference between life and death.
Rich people have isolated themselves from the commoners to such an extent that they have no idea how to deal with them, let alone rule over them. On one hand we can applaud him for handing out free money, while on the other hand, we can condemn him for starting a brawl.
Whiche ver we choose to do should be dependent on what his intentions were. I don't think he was handing out free money because he genuinely gave a damn about redistributing wealth or of the welfare of "commoners". I believe his motives were much more selfish in nature.
I think he should be steamrolled, folded into a paper airplane, and launched off the side of a cliff.
Tomasz, "LOL, it's like he's throwing food at pigeons or a bunch of hungry seagulls and watching them fight over it. Haha, classic entertainment." I imagine that the God of gods created life only to enjoy the entertainment to see it, to see us, destroy each other in the most cruel way for worthless crumbs while in the end, everybody gets destroyed and dies. The funny thing is that even the winners become losers in the end. It's not worth it to embark in this sick and twisted game.
Kermit Frasier, "Its not that we are so desparate, but deeply greedy." That's human nature and I'm no different. Now imagine what it feels like to be a greedy human being and dying of poverty. If the rich want to get richer, and if the powerful want to get more powerful. Imagine how it feels to be me, to die of poverty, slowly and painfully.
"... it's like he's throwing food to pigeons or a bunch of hungry seagulls ..."
Well I live in a "third world" country and this sounds familiar ... or bears something déjà-vu !!!
And what would be his wrong-doing here ? Throwing away money ? Or offending some dignity by enjoying people fighting for it ? If 2000US$ is really a big sum for most russians then I think the guy should be congratulated for being so generous ...
And what did the man on the street thought about that ???
Sometimes it's easier to blog than to put food on a table ...

Dear Tomasz, I once did the same thing, threw chips at seagulls and although they scream and "fight", they do have more class than this subworthy species called human. I haven't seen a seagull wound another one. The most they do is push over one another, no wounds. Humans, on the other hand, will kill one another, often in the most cruel way, for crumbs. I am poor and I am dying of poverty. I am malnourished and my body is dying in pains. This is a choice I made, to die of poverty because I refuse to accept being an employee. There is no dignity at being an employee. I figured out that if I give more in productivity than I receive in wage, then from a capitalist point of view it would be more profitable to die than to work for a living. Although my potential employer's profit is positive, I figured out that being an employee, your "profit" is negative and the more you work, the more you get screwed. With that said, I would never fight for money.I would show more class than that. I figured out that no matter what I do I'm doomed in the end anyways, so I might as well show class and preserve my dignity. That's all I've got left before I render my last breath.
