Gates too? I thought he had some redeeming qualities. Maybe I just didn’t look past the surface PR.
He didn’t, all of the BS “philanthropy” was always a tax deduction maneuver and to funnel money into industries that he was personally vested in.
The same goes for all the other billionaires that pretend to give out money for good causes, remember when Meta ratboy said he was going to give away all but a small percentage of his money? Yeah, did people actually believe him and that it wasn’t a tax evasion scheme? Jesus christ, don’t trust the Greeks even when they come bringing you huge wooden horses that make no sense and that you don’t even know what to do with.
People forgot how hated Gates was in the 90s. Microsoft under his leadership went into all kinds of monopolistic and anti-competitive shenanigans (they still do but it was way worse back then).
MS did so many shitty things it is hard to keep track. They destroyed computer OS diversity every chance they got. This is why there were never any successful alternatives. It wasn’t because Windows was GUD.
Yeah. The deal he made to have new PCs come with windows installed was super anti-competitive and is the reason they basically own the OS market now. It also set back Linux as a competitor.
The push he made for the Internet Browser market was also quite anti-competitive and is the reason Firefox was born. Firefox was created as a pushback to Internet Explorer, long before Chrome was a thing.
Yeah I think the whole monoculture for computing was a very bad thing at the time and we were all deprived of the diversity that could have been. I remember OS/2 rather fondly as it was way better than Windows at the time.
Things change, and now the Linux and XNU kernel run the majority of the computing devices people use. Between being the backbone of the Internet and used in the majority of consumer faced internet devices, Linux has truly dominated.
I suppose it would also be dominate on the desktop if it wasn’t for Windows. Not that MS isn’t doing everything in their power to make it happen with their current anti-user agenda.
also for PR towards people that don’t know him
As far as I can tell, his involvement is investing in a rare earth mineral company as part of a green energy initiative. I don’t see anything connecting him to some “freedom city”. That’s Peter Thiel: https://www.insidehook.com/internet/peter-thiel-praxis-next-great-city-greenland
They are all the same
Obviously wrong.
Maybe it was Melinda Gates that was the ethical part of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. They divorced 5 years ago and I think it’s fair to say that Bill Gates’ focus has changed in that time frame.
You haven’t been paying close attention. Even his foundation is doing shady business to benefit Gates’ bottom line all the time.
Oh, fuck, that dude has spent his entire career lying and pouring money into making you think so.
Wasn’t the rumor that his wife left him over Epstein ties, like way before these days?
I read the article. The connection to these people and this freedom City seems very tenuous. Yes, they invested in some VC funding related to AI technology for finding metals, but I didn’t see the evidence that they’re deliberately intentionally investing in this freedom City
Get all these ghouls in one place and nuke it.

Get Them down! By force!! Eat these fuckers! All of them!
Americans are obsessed with “Freedom.” The USA is the greatest imperialist power, the occupier and exploiter of all nations. The USA is not freedom, the USA is synonymous with repression. Great Britain at the height of its imperialist power could not conquer, steal (yes, steal) or kill other nations and countries without a shred of remorse as the USA does today. “Freedom from the USA” is true freedom for all nations.
Remember the line: “if you have to say you are the King perhaps you aren’t”? It is like that.
Start with work unions, join them, create them, then organize strikes in all workplaces. Bring the entire american economy to a standstill for a day, to start with. That’s literally the only thing they care about, so hit em where it hurts. Then u can start to make demands: the dissolution of ICE and this government, jail trump, tax the rich, national healthcare, fair wages and to break the stranglehold of billionaire tech companies’ influence over our government
Biggest umbrella union: AFL-CIO wiki
For healthcare, cleaning/janitorial, public sector or broader service jobs: SEIU wiki
for car industry, tech, academics: UAW wiki
For transport, logistics, warehouses (UPS, Amazon): Teamsters wikiThese dudes rape and kill children how much more freedom do they need while they strip all of ours away? This basically means they are going to rape more working class children there
The specific claim appears to be unsubstantiated. They are attempting to invest in Greenland however.
I don’t know why when the US still have large swarthes of untouched land, building one in a foreign country makes no sense. Just build it in the middle of the Cali desert.
