HE is a gigantic POS so why not?

[–] Adalast@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Eh, I would have agreed 20 years ago, but of late he seems to be at least trying to right the books before he shuffles off this mortal coil.

Besides, we have new oligarchs to shit on and blame for things and they are infinitely more culpable and shitty than he ever was really.

He isn't.
Many of those who get called 'philanthropists' or claim to be don't do it for altruistic reasons.
Plenty of profits from the Gates foundation.
1 example, Billy makes a deal with African governments where his foundation funds a small percentage of medicine (with many tax advantages), the bulk by the respective states.
Invariably the medicine is the one Billy has invested in.
There's plenty more if you look into it.
I don't bcs I know that scumbag will never change.
But looks like plenty people are easily fooled.

wait... you back up your statement with "i've not looked it up"?

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Comprehensive reading?
i’ve not looked it up FURTHER since, as I explained, I know of plenty facts, not "claims" before that.
So I know he's also scum even in his BS 'philanthropist' capacity.
You can keep simping for the billionaires all you want, IDC

[–] Adalast@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wasn't simping so much as arguing we have much more relevant set of billionaires to direct ire to.

Even in your example, he is helping get states to invest in medicine for their populace. Is it wholly altruistic, no. Could it end up as a net positive, possibly. I only said he was trying to get his karmic balance sheet to look better, not that he had miraculously become a good person.

" I only said he was trying to get his karmic balance sheet to look better" not even that. These sociopaths don't believe in karma or accountabillity.
He was, is and always will be evil.
