Fascist fuck
Hypothetically, if Larry was eaten, would other billionaires be on their best behavior and stop positing fascist control mechanisms?
That's a testable hypothesis.
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.
And now you know why everyone hates Oracle.
Oh you mean One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison?
Not heard that before, and I'm old. 🤣😂
We don't need citizens to be on their best behavior, we need millionaires and billionaires to be on their best behavior.
This is their best behaviour.
WAH-hoo!
Dude looks like he's one line of coke away from a heart attack...
He looks like Tim Allen got in a fight with a hornet nest
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.
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.

Literally 1984.
And by "citizens" you mean slaves.
On coins, on stamps, on the covers of books, on banners, on posters, and on the wrappings of a cigarette Packet -- [Big Brother was] everywhere. Always the eyes watching you and the voice enveloping you. Asleep or awake, working or eating, indoors or out of doors, in the bath or in bed -- no escape. Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull.
-- George Orwell, Nineteen-Eighty-Four

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.
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. 🤔
they just can't help saying the quiet part out loud
'citizens will be on their best behavior'
Compliant. He means compliant.
He's afraid of the masses.
I wonder why
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.
We need another Luigi for this asshole.
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.
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"
There's a different solution that can ensure billionaires will be on their best behavior.
A symptom of believing they are better than others.

Larry I am sure you will be on your best behavior as well.
including YOU and other leeches?!
ya. didn't think so.
He's one of the owners of X, he and like 20 other people invested with Musk
How about using it on the billionaires instead?
Larry and his ultra-rich megawank friends can all go first and show us the way
Print licensing agreements for all oracle products and shove them up your ass
Remember, remember the 4th of December...
Ah, the Panopticon. How novel.
So billionaires will pay the right amount of taxes! Oh wait!
