        Yep. A single billionaire funding a war effort is abhorrent.

        This one happens to be on the right side, but there’s absolutely no guarantee that his will be the case for any of these fucking psychopaths.who horde wealth. They all need to go.

          Do you say the same thing about Russian billionaires funding the war against Ukraine?

              Are you ByteJunk? Is ByteJunk a name for a group of people or why do you say « they »?

                No. I am dependencyInjection.

                I said they, as I was referencing ByteJunk and what they literally said (typed, if you want to be a pedant) in the comment you replied to.

                Are you happy now? Do you need anything else blatantly obvious to be clarified for you?

                  Bogus is just doing that new anti-trans-panic performance the nazis do now where they pretend English hasn’t used they/them for unspecified gender for hundreds of years. She’s a troll.

    Fuck this asshole for existing - I don’t give a shit what he does, good or bad, because no single person should get to decide what happens to that much stolen wealth.

      I have mixed feelings. His gist is basically that he agrees billionaires shouldn’t exist and that there’s no ethical billionaire and he wants reforms to make it so they don’t. But he argues that we live in a system where billionaires are inevitable and that it would be stupid not to invest wisely and make billions if he can because if he doesn’t someone else just will and he can use the money for good.

      However, even if you buy this narrative of good billionaire, you can just look to his ties will Bill Gates and the Bill and Melinda gates foundation to see that, even if he did mean well, his perception on how to do good is completely twisted.

          Bill gates put a lot of effort into making monopolies. He tried to stomp out Linux. And, part of his whole weird philantrophy was trying to circumcise the men of Africa to save them from aids but inadvertanly likely increased the spread of aids which is just one case study in how his foundation can help but also does harmful bananas shit.

          Listen to the behind the bastards on him. Warren buffet might get a pass if you squint, but Bill Gates is a bastard.

          Edit: I would like to say that “increased the spread of aids” is probably misleading in that I make it sound like the program overall increased AIDS in Africa. That is not true. There is controversial evidence that circumcision may decrease the spread of AIDS. There’s controversial evidence that circumcision led the risky behavior in circumcised men who felt they were immune after circumcision. The data, since its an uncontrollable population study, is messy. But, Bills foundation involvent in Africa has had many unintended consequences across the continent that has saves some lives and cost others and no one man should have such strong say on the health policies of an entire continent. Personally, I also feel very strongly no one man should have such strong sway on campaigns which result is mass surgery on the genitals of an entirely different group of men when there are arguably better ways to mitigate disease transmission.

            Fifty. MILLION.

            The man should literally be made into a saint. “Oooh Linux blah blah” FIFTY FUCKING MILLION LIVES SAVED. The man has far outweighed anything bad he’s ever done in his life.
