      Lmfao, this one man is hoarding enough money to solve world hunger 10 times over, and enough influence to change the entire way the world is run, but what he wants (and I know this because of his actions) is to never drop out of the top 5 richest people on the planet list.

      And he has you not only convinced that he gives a shit about anyone but himself, but so much so that you are willing to publicly lick his boot.

      Good to see the PR is serving its purpose I guess…

      1. He made that money by stealing the surplus value of other people’s labor, which probably would’ve done much more good in the hands of the workers instead of being hoarded, as much of it is now.

      2. His business practices harmed consumers.

      3. His meddling in education has caused much harm.

      4. He met with Epstein many times, and probably committed statutory rape.

      Were he not evil, he never would have become a billionaire in the first place.

      Extend, Embrace, Extinguish

      he is literally one of the most deplorable people known to man and is the literal definition of a capitalist. Whitewashing, propaganda, proprietisation, he does all and everything detrimental to society

      looks like someone fell for the propaganda. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A GOOD BILLIONAIRE. which charity does he mainly donate to again? oh yeah, the one which his family controls. he has painted himself as a genuinely good person. idc how much he pledges to donate when he dies, if he still has the money now, he is evil.

      The dude single handily fucked the American education system by mainstreaming voucher schools. His “gifts to education” was a poison pill and that really does sum up the entirety of billionaire philanthropy.

      If being a billionaire is inherently deplorable, why are you defending one?

      imagine a society not dependent on individual charity (with wealth expropriated from the working class) for improving material wellbeing.

      does a ‘nice’ king justify monarchy?
