I think communists should take note of how much has changed.
This is not the first time Bill has done reddit AMAs, previously they have been extremely positive for him. This one is different, this one is VERY different.
Yeah that's the thing. You can do your best to atomize people, suppress unions and all the tricks capitalism uses to stop people engaging with politics but when you get something like a pandemic followed by a recession people notice that their standard of living has plummeted and they start looking at the greedy bastards raking it in.
Top comment asking about farmland he's buying up, which results in an "oh fuck" answer full of excuses.
Second comment is about cost of living and wanting corporations to pay up. Bill timidly says he would want some more tax.
Third comment is Climate. Fucked or turbo-fucked.
Fourth comment is "can there be ethical billionaires" lmao.
These are the top things people want to bring up with Bill today. Effectively -- Why do you own so much? Why is the working class getting fucked? We are all going to die to the climate (not even a question it's just a statement, on top of leaning towards blaming the rich). And the last is accusatory rather than a real question.
All I see here is class war. This is not how any of his previous AMAs went. He would get lukewarm questions about the future of technology, solutions to climate, jokes and philanthropy. There is a very serious shift toward class consciousness visible in the difference between these questions as the most burning questions people upvote compared to previous AMAs. This is what people care about the most.
All of these questions feel like accusations. Not necessarily at Bill himself but at his class by people who recognise they and him are of a different class.
This was my first impression too. And now hes off to go tattle on the working class to reincarnated Epstein, Elon, Bezos, and the billionaires club. "Guys I think they are catching on."
Playing apples to apples last night with my gen X gf's parents her step-dad answered "Cuba" to the "ingenious" prompt. This morning my gf and I spent like an hour explaining the DoTP to her mom and why everything she hears about China in the US media is wrong.
I used to think he was part owner of Reddit because of all the pro-gates bs. Every year he would participate in their secret Santa and supposedly send some random redditor a mountain of Christmas presents they would pose next to for karma

Is it? I mean still looks to me like 90+% of the comments are slobbering after him.

Don't forget the Epstein question he ignored. That one was near the top when I loaded the page.
Epstein was great for us, that was a big win.

Fair enough, I guess it's a positive step from where it once was.
I was thinking the exact same thing

No that's Snoop Dogg, Jared Leto and Peter Thiel. Among I presume other investment rounds.
