Hey look everyone, this guy only sees black or white!

No, just defending someone that I know for a fact is a genuinely decent human being. He doesn't give a shit about burnishing his reputation through the philanthropy he does. He does it because he hates seeing billionaire mansions on mountaintops as much as anyone who isn't a fuck, because he wants everyone to have natural places to enjoy in the future. If you can't see the difference between someone like Sweeney and someone like Musk, DeVoss, etc., that's on you. He's not trying to make the world worse for everyone.

Do I have issues with the concentration of wealth and growing inequality in the US? Yes. If you gave me a list of billionaires, where I had to rank them in terms of their benefit to the world vs. negative impact to the world, would I put him high in benefit and low in negative impact? Yes. He's not spouting antisemitic nonsense, or trying to influence politics, or ruin education, or poison the minds of the American public. He's just running his business, treating his employees well, and preserving land. So if you want to call me a bootlicker for points, fine. Given the world we live in, I'd rather have our billionaires be like Sweeney instead of Musk or DeVoss.
