    Sorry buddy, but actions speak louder than words, and your words haven’t even been consistent. The creator of the automatic tyranny machine needs stopped no matter what he believes

    Ah, so then like any good, self-aware progressive without narcissistic issues, he will immediately cease any activities that could empower authoritarians and put his money where his mouth is and fund the shit out of the DSA candidates.

    Oh. Hang on. I just got a weather update that Hell has not frozen over and that this guy has the brain capacity of a peanut.

    Bro is going to be counting his dollars while kill-drones track us algorithmically as we try to run from them.

      In general it is pretty surprising that all these tech oligarchs, the wealthiest people in the world, with direct access to all of the data they have sucked out of the entire global population, was so incredibly bad at influencing this election.

      It really speaks volumes about how bad they are at implementing all of that stolen data and surveillance. I guess we should be thankful that they are as stupid and inept as they are.

        Keep in mind if you’re a billionaire you are constantly insulated by a thick layer of suck-ups and yes men. You no longer interact with “normal” people, just other rich assholes. You have the money to get anything you want, and “no” simply means “shovel more money at it”. Picture what the cognitive effects of living like that for a year… or a decade. Being kicked in the head every morning would probably be less damaging to somebody’s mind.

        If you view tech oligarchs through that lens their ineptitude becomes much more understandable. The crazy guy with his truck covered in Trump stickers and rants about microchips is grounded in reality by comparison.

      Their fundamental axiom is “I am smarter than everyone else.” So they don’t think they need to try very hard to deceive people. It’s not like they ever talk to ordinary people, so they assume if you don’t move in their circles it’s because you’re too dumb.

      They’re neurotic malignant narcissists, they believe themselves, and only go oppositional when they feel attacked, so let’s congratulate him on his change of heart as we open Investigations into his actions.
