Throughout the 90s Microsoft was the company equivalent of a serial killer, so Gates had to really step up his public relations. Goldfish-brained liberal techies ate it up, and love him now.
Many are new blood having no idea what Microsoft used to be. Add to that the modern good-guy MS face, funding (usefu for theml) open source and all that, and it gets difficult to convey how things used to be.
Bill Gates? The Epstein guy?
An Epstein guy.
Now to be fair, they’re both Epstein guys.
The only road to being a billionaire is through exploitation. If you aren’t willing to sacrifice your morals somewhere along the path to get there, your journey to being a billionaire ends. Like it or not, that’s the reality. Gates is no better than the others. He just has better PR. There’s more to being a good member of humanity than giving away money for the tax breaks and PR. Working class folks defending billionaires in 2025 is some goldfish brain type shit.
He’s developed this Mr. Rogers persona
I want to like Bill Gates, you’re probably right about PR. Even though I use Linux I still think he’s been a positive for humanity.

Bill Gates the farmer?
Just trying to find a decent link led me past so many deceptive headlines like Bill Gates owns a lot of American farmland, but not the majority.
So… he’s the largest private owner of US farmland , but he doesn’t own a majority-- What a relief /s
Wow that AP article is insanely deceptive. They make a fact look like a conspiracy theory and then “debunk” it with a strawman.
I love how the conversation went from “all billionaires are bad eat the rich!!” to “hey this good billionaire is talking smack about a bad billionaire, time to defend them from criticism because they did good thing”

Billionaires are all bad. That said if some of them want to squabble over who is the least bad billionaire, and that causes a rift between them, so much the better.
Want to do something about it? Come protest with me at the Billionaire’s SummerCamp in Sun Valley Idaho on July 6th. This yearly conference, AKA the Sun Valley Conference, is where the parasitic rich meet each year to consolidate the new and old media, and to plan the coming years news narrative. It is attended by several former CIA Directors and all the media Billionaires.
I don’t care for bill gates. It’s because of him that I have to use Windows at work.
