We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

lumping in every person who’s done anything wrong into the same evil billionaire bucket muddies the waters and lessens the burden on the worse ones. as far as i know, Bill slept with some prostitutes, cheated on his wife and asked for some drugs. this is nowhere near the pedophilia, rape, murder and worse that the worst offenders did.
you can say philanthropy is just a tax strategy but this guy is deeply involved in the philanthropy and knowledgeable about it for a while now, and attempts to use it for the best. again, compare with someone like Les Wexner or Staley, this guy is worlds apart.
like we can be clear about what each individual person did. i don’t think Bill has actually done anything reprehensible.
No it doesn't. Nobody who has good in them becomes a billionaire. Only psychopaths and ruthless people who are willing to make the lives of a whole lot of other human beings worse for their own benefit become billionaires.
There are good rich people to be sure. But the richer they are, the less likely they are to be good.
why don’t you tell me what your actual problem is with Paul McCartney, Michael Jordan, Taylor Swift or Bill Gates? they’re all very rich. not billionaires as a concept, what makes these specific people so much more evil than an average person?
even if we say MOST people who became billionaires are bad, it doesn’t mean all of them are. and even if Bill Gates is a psychopath, he hasn’t raped any children that i’m aware of.
you guys seem to have a legitimate point that a system that lets billionaires exist is dangerous. but when you say shit like this - everyone outside the most extreme leftist circles is going to conclude that you’re insane and it makes changing things that much harder
So don't compare some people but compare others ... "epsteinhater" 🤔
Bill is this you
bro a pedo rapist is not the same as a guy sleeping with an escort. it should be fucking obvious. throwing bullshit around only weakens our credibility and republicans are already using that to discredit this whole thing as a “witch hunt”.
