Oh, you're from lemmy.ml, I shouldn't have bothered engaging in the first place, that makes sense.
Lmao, enjoy trying to navigate life thinking that saying the magic words "WEF, Epstein Island, Microsoft", counts as overwhelming evidence, or even counts as a coherent logical train of thought.
Lol no it fucking doesn't. My fucking god, you people are fucking conspiracy theory crazy.
Literally all of his actions can be explained by him simply acting out if self interest at each decision point. None of it implies a larger plot in any way shape or form.
Honestly, you sound like religious who people who desperately need their to be some larger machinations at work and can't just accept that most things happen due to random chance.
No, it's weird that you think that every girl Epstein had on his island was underage. Or maybe you didn't read actual reporting, just internet conspiracy theories.
At the same time it's also true and provable that uncle Bill spends his money lobbying various domestic and international organizations to further his and by proxy the owner class'es interest.
It's provable that he seems to do it to further his own interests, but it's also entirely possible (if I personally think unlikely), that he lobbied for that path because he thought it was the more practical path that was more likely to succeed or gain traction for whatever reason.
Or he may have done it because he has a vested interested in maintaining IP law, or maybe he has friends who do who convinced him it was important, and he did it because he wanted to please his friends.
Or maybe he did it because he was really conniving and constantly thinking specifically about class principles and how to fuck the lower classes. But I suspect the reality is simpler.
What percentage of responsibility for that genocide goes to Microsoft? What percentage goes to Ford or GM or whoever sells them cars? What percentage goes to AWS? What percentage goes the people who make the roads they use?
Lol, the idea that a billionaire liked to go to his friend's party Island and fuck prostitutes automatically means he's also part of an intentionally world ending cabal is flat out tin foil hat level conspiracy theory.
Occams razor would suggest that Epstein was popular because people like to fuck, not because he was an evil mastermind.
Oh I'm sorry, did I express an opinion that wasn't an overly simplistic black or white answer? Thank god the internet edge lord economy is still going strong to correct me.
Fell for what? From all publicly available information, Bill Gates is an objectively better person that is putting his money to far better good than Elon and is an example of how billionaires should behave.
Does that mean that he's overall a net "good" person in the grand, karmic, life total sense? Hard to say, given the abuse that Microsoft perpetuated to become Microsoft, probably not, but that doesn't change any of the first part.
Alright man, do you, but it sounds like you're just defeatist and making up excuses to avoid taking direct action that might improve your circumstances.
I personally block hexbear, and de facto ignore lemmy.ml because I find it to be a hive of vitriol and unproductive toxic behaviour, but I still signed up to donate because imho, lemmy's open and decentralized nature make it fundamentally valuable and a worthwhile piece of societal infrastructure.
... I want to hear this story of 'that one time I got chased by a massive iguana.'
It was the first time I was in the dominican, and it was a resort, and I was 18 and hungover and thought I was super cool, and then I only barely held in high pitched squeals as I got chased across half the resort by a giant man killing dinosaur, and everyone praised me for how brave and strong I was... iirc.
Lol you can't lose your security deposit for improving your residence by painting and sealing it properly. Caulking is literally sold in bulk boxes for painters because it's also how you make a paint job look professional.
The real trick to managing pests in your home is to use caulking to seal the entry points between the interior and the walls, and ideally also between the walls and the exterior.
Quote the exact words where I called children prostitutes. Don't worry, reading comprehension is a learned skill, but we can get there.
