Fascist fuck

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 101 points 1 week ago

Hypothetically, if Larry was eaten, would other billionaires be on their best behavior and stop positing fascist control mechanisms?

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 50 points 1 week ago

That's a testable hypothesis.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

You go right ahead. I'm not eating any of those assholes. They're only held together by hatred and bitterness. I'd assume the taste would be influenced by that.

We don't need citizens to be on their best behavior, we need millionaires and billionaires to be on their best behavior.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 15 points 1 week ago

This is their best behaviour.

This guy needs more luigi in his life

[-] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago

Yeah, and a simple wooden construction with a movable metal blade keeps billionaires on their best behaviour. Or at least it did in the 18th century.

By all accounts, Larry is a piece of shit.

[-] tempest@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don't anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it'll chop it off, the end. You don't think 'oh, the lawnmower hates me' -- lawnmower doesn't give a shit about you, lawnmower can't hate you. Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don't fall into that trap about Oracle.

I used to think I was heading toward abject poverty as our bs systems were going into more bs but now Im getting more hopeful. Maybe I will be dead or in prison.

Somebody read or watched 1984 and thought that's a wonderful idea. Or is he just trying to cozy up to the Chinese government? Or the drugs long term effects are kicking in? Who knows.

Literally 1984.

[-] Sho@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

But...we got video evidence of someone already having murdered a ceo. It didn't seem to stop the ceo from getting shot tho, remarkable. 🤔

[-] GenosseFlosse@feddit.org 14 points 1 week ago

Video surveillance doesn't stop crime, it only records it...

He's one of the owners of X, he and like 20 other people invested with Musk

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That dude was never on his best behavior. And now he wants to punish anyone that is going to out live him.

it is an attitude that happens to many rich old people; how dare you live past them and enjoy it.

[-] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 1 week ago

they just can't help saying the quiet part out loud

Larry and his ultra-rich megawank friends can all go first and show us the way

Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison.

You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn - you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think "oh, the lawnmower hates me" – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle.

what he really means is that "me and my buddies are fucking everyone else and we are afraid that there will be retaliation so we need mass surveillance"

Funny thing about "best behavior" is that it's defined by whoever is in charge of the venue you're in, whether it's society ingeneral or a social media community. Somebody always dictates what's okay or not okay to say.
