Most comments ITT boil down to two things:

  • "cat shit is shit, so it's the same as elephant shit"
  • "cat shit is not the same as elephant shit, so it's not shit"

Cat shit is not the same as elephant shit. Contents are different and there is a enormous difference in amounts. Would you rather have an elephant shit in your house of a cat shit in a litterbox in your house?

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 20 points 2 days ago

Yup, that's part of the deal: cat shit is preferable over elephant shit. The other part is that cat shit is still shit, and it's still undesirable.

Now look at the discussion in this thread. Gabe Newell is cat shit; some comments are trying to defend him as not shit, some trying to pretend his behaviour is exactly as bad as elephant shit (your typical billionaire). Between a billionaire like Newell spending money on a research yacht versus one like Musk fuelling some random dictatorship, Newell is preferable. And he's still undesirable as any of those money-hoarding psychopaths.

No sarcasm, pure sincerity, that was a beautifully eloquent comment, kudos.
