“We are very proud of this! We are nobodies, we have no money, nothing!” Tommaso Cacciari, from a group calling itself No Space for Bezos, told the BBC.

“We’re just citizens who started organising and we managed to move one of the most powerful people in the world - all the billionaires - out of the city.”

The wedding kicks off later this week, and has a star-studded guest list of the rich and famous that is rumoured to include Kim Kardashian, Mick Jagger and Leonardo diCaprio, as well as several of the Trumps.

    The mongols … Could be it because they weren’t white?

    As far as I know, the mongols ended slavery. That’s the big no no.

    begging for the ruling class to just spit a little of their bread crumbs into their mouths. its ridiculous

    Yes, like simping for the people of Venice who are allowed to live in the pretty city.

    But telling me to not simp for Bezos. Instead U should beg in style and protest for more handouts.

    However, I am not simping for Bezos but pointing out the double standard for Venice.

    time for emperors and kings should be over

    Bezos is just one of the richest people. He hasn’t created the system. Others did and do. Focussing on Bezos isn’t helpful to understand what needs to change.

      You earlier “If it wasnt for people like bezos venice wouldn’t exist!”

      you now; “yeah bezos isn’t to blame its the system!”

      hes part of the system, literally you are going to bat for a rich man then backing down to save face. “please spit in my mouth, bezos!” is your thesis and don’t even try to pretend anymore. I would say its you who has double standards here but its clear you have no standards.

      keep licking that boot.
