At least, there was a time when that appeared to be the case

I also needed a bodyguard after i murdered a bunch of people’s loved ones and got richly rewarded for it. Please feel bad for me.

It’s not that we’ve forgotten, it’s that it’s so much worse now that those were the “good ol’ days”

Disgusting.

It’s tough work hiding your genocides

All the crypto dipshits think Trump is pro crypto when its just another scam for him to exploit and move on to other shit

Fucking Russian puppet

Suck a bag of dicks, TurboTax

I certainly wouldn’t be voting for Trump since i have the rare human ability of noticing when someone has lied to my face thousands of times in the most absurd, lazy, and inconsistent manner possible.

My dad was a Republican and a military man who i respected immensely, so I could’ve seen myself going that route, but that route in my mind was “fiscally conservative” and not “socially conservative”, but I haven’t seen any fiscal responsibility from that party outside of implementing cuts to offset massive tax break handouts for billionaires, and there’s instead an extremely unhealthy emphasis on the latter.

Come to think of it i don’t think i even came across politics much during my childhood years with Internet, it was still web forums mainly and political web forums sounds as boring now as it did then. (though It’s kinda weird that i feel that way and still spend most of my time on lemmy discussing politics rather than any other topics)

This explains everything going on in the world

Whoa there buddy, distinguishing Israel from an entire religion that spans the world is anti-Semitic!

I’d be more surprised if it wasn’t. Literal genocide is not a great look.

Nothing any billionaire does will ever have any material impact on them financially.

Whether or not billionaires should exist on the first place is a separate topic that I’m guessing we both agree on. But they exist nonetheless, and they certainly have a material impact on the world, so all that leaves you with is comparing them against their peers to get a better idea of how truly greedy the worst of them are.

Fair point. Maybe it doesn’t work out so well for that guy, but for the 999/1000 people who don’t want to be murdered/tortured, “do unto others” probably ends up being a net positive versus “do whatever the fuck you want as long as you can get away with it”, which seems to be the direction a lot of “leaders” are going and dragging humanity into Hell alongside them

One of my favorite documentaries

You make it sound like this is a money making scheme but he’s still out about $170 billion compared to other billionaires who pat themselves on the back for a $10k donation here and there or try to use their money to destroy democracy so they can be even more obscenely rich and powerful. $200 billion will go a long way in a developing continent.

It’s like they’re trying to create a new generation of terrorists that despise them

Ugh … as if I didn’t already know Netanyahu literally helped keep Hamas in power so people would be less sympathetic to Palestine.

We have some really disgusting people running this world these days. I thought humanity would figure things out eventually but we seem wholly incapable of learning anything from past attrocities for longer than a few generations

“Do unto others…”

Even those who supposedly devote their lives to such teachings don’t seem to know wtf that means

Because the kid threw up on herself while she was locked in a room so the baby sitter can go get stoned… you’d think she’d come back feeling guilty and apologetic but instead acts like a fucking demon

That AI knew exactly what it was doing and it’s about time these AIs started facing real prison time instead of constantly getting a pass
