Downvoted for being very hyperbolic (“less than zero”, “his opponents here are all pure conflict theorists”), uncharitable/making personal attacks (“There are people opposed to nerds or to thinking”, “There are people who are opposed to action of any kind”), and not substantiating these extreme views (“Because, come on. Read their quotes. Consider their arguments.”)
As a more object-level comment, suppose I accept the hypothetical that all attacks on billionaire philanthropy are entirely aimed at reducing the power of billionaires. Yet if we build a societal consensus that this particular attack is very misguided and causes undesirable collateral damage, then even people who are just as anti-billionaire as before will be less likely to use it. E.g. it’s much harder to criticise billionaires who only spend their money on helping kids with cancer.
