Capitalism is very powerful force of change, it's just not you know, the sustainable end of history or anything. Hating Bill Gates for being an exceptionally rich capitalist that uses some money to solve real problems is missing the point

I mean, I get the whole eat the rich thing and am 100% on board but specifically speaking about Bill Gates he seems to be genuinely dedicated to the missions he and his foundations are taking on. there are much bigger shitheads to be complaining about

if bill gates really wanted to raise his tax rate youd think hed be spending some money towards that since he certainly hasnt shied away from donating to and endorsing political candidates and issues. and could possibly mention that microsoft has been one of the biggest-spending lobbiers on corporate tax for decades

I fully expect a Gates-Soros University to form as the new Carnegie Mellon.

It actually took me a bit to figure out a second name for new CMU. None of the sv nerd capitalists will give a dime to that kind of thing, even to raise their reputations. Musk Thiel University would be a for profit scam college they advertise in banner ads.

Nathan Robinson posted:Shapiro is referring to the Allied expulsion of German-speakers from Polish territory immediately after World War II, in which “Anywhere from 3.5 million to 9 million Germans were forcibly expelled from the new Polish territory and relocated in Germany.” Shapiro favorably quotes Churchill’s desire that “There will be no mixture of populations to cause endless trouble … a clean sweep will be made.”
