    I've noticed lately just how little media there is out there refuting the idea that Bill Gates is some wonderful, altruistic, charitable, philanthropist hero. Like for example, if you go on youtube and you type in the name Bill Gates next to any negative descriptors, basically the only videos that'll show up are interviews with him and short videos by news channels about all the great work he is doing. The only negative thing I've gotten to come up on the first page was one Thought Slime video refuting the idea Bill Gates is a good billionaire. Everything else is just fluff about what a great man Bill Gates is. The thick layer of propaganda surrounding just this one guy absolutely boggles the mind.

      He's also shielded by all the videos made by lunatics saying he's the antichrist for vaxxines and shit.

      To get an explanation of why he's a fucking shitbag you gotta read some boomer blog explaining how he spinelessly climbed the tech revolution ladder by lobbying and fucking over cool smart people who did the job of building today's technology. And the worst part, he lost a lot of legal battles in the way, had he the upper hand in everything, I probably wouldn't have internet or something fucked like that.

        It's kind of a small miracle that the internet wasn't developed as an entirely patented, for-profit enterprise.

      Back in the day people hated him. He used to be the evil tech billionaire.
