        No idea if this is a common turn of phrase or your invention, but I love the “dragon” reference. People get so upset when I tell them we should “eat the rich”, but not even Gaston is against killing dragons that are hoarding the village’s wealth and killing our children!

            that’s because murdering and killing the poor and dark skinned is completely morally acceptable.

            but killing one white billionaire is a unacceptable tragedy.
