    I always forget Gates is one of the elite. Then I remember how ruthless and savage he was in the 80s.

    Then I remember.

    Mr Gates actually has some power to do something about the crazyness and shittines of the world we live right now.

    I don’t discredit his philanthropic work, some of the things he does is actually good, neither that he calls out the insanity, any sane person should do, but, and this but is as huge as the Titanic, Mr Gates, is able to do something about it, and has been for a long time before shit hit the fan tbh, actions speak louder than words, specially the lack of action lmao.

    If Mr Gates really feel this way, he should do something about it, he has the money.

      Money’s great and all, but where exactly would his spending help right now?

      Trump’s brown-nosing billionaires have trillions between them, let alone foreign governments actively supporting the destabilisation of the western world.

      The far-right has the market cornered on information & infrastructure control currently. Even Gates’ would struggle using his money to influence any meaningful change. It’s depressing.

      Attacking their fragile egos of Nazis… Now that’s free and plentiful.
