Says a wealth-hoarding, mass carbon-polluting asshole. His ethics and those of everyday people are vastly vastly different due to his inability to pay taxes.

Someone should Luigi this fuckwit

He says that the police will be under constant surveillance. They already are and they still get away with crimes. Unless being a criminal is a cops best behaviour.

Why do billionaires always look like creepy Madame Tussauds wax statues?

[-] bigfondue@lemmy.world 22 points 4 days ago

He's literally 80 years old. You can only do so much to hide your age before you start looking absurd.

while billionaires keep raping kids? yea no, go fuck yourself. this sounds like ravings of a person afraid of losing his possessions and life.

How about the billionaires? Any rules for them?

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 14 points 5 days ago

If the billionaires want the Chinese model for us, it's only fair they fall under that same model.

[-] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

You know what? Seeing as how we're getting it anyway whether we like it or not, I think I'd voluntarily take the surveillance state and censorship if it comes with rich people getting absolutely stomped by the government when they get out of line.

Maybe we can adopt the Vietnamese model where that billionaire either pays back $9 billion of embezzled funds or gets executed.

If we can't have a real democracy with real freedom I at least want blood of vengeance to bathe in from time to time.

Mr. Ed Snowden would like a word.

[-] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

Fed into woodchippers like they deserve.

Oracle is one of the worst companies in history and it's products are ass.

[-] return2ozma@lemmy.world 36 points 5 days ago

This is a reminder post. Remember when tech billionaire Larry Ellison said this?

ORACLE: One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison

[-] chris@lemmy.zip 15 points 5 days ago

Can we have a crowd-sourced bounty system for billionaires? The more billions they have the higher the bounty. I think it would be a good investment of public funds and benefit mankind greatly.

[-] chaogomu@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Be the change you want to see in the world.

[-] Zier@fedia.io 26 points 5 days ago

LOL! So republicans will stop committing crimes? Can't wait to see your son destroy CBS/Paramount.

[-] capsdroopy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 5 days ago

Truly nothing like Big Brother telling you he's gonna big brother you. And of course don't forget that those in power will never be subjected to this, it's only for the little peasants in case they may decide to not fully conform to their ideal society (wageslaving to make the rich richer until you drop dead)

[-] abbiistabbii 9 points 5 days ago

Isn't that literally the premise of 1984?

[-] EntropyFlux@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago

Golly, sounds like it’s time to watch Larry Ellison a lot closer too.

[-] mhague@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

The 0.1% are like turbo hedonists. If they beat the population into being severe ascetics then the ones who stick out will be: elites, politicians, authorities, politicians, suck-ups, spoiled heirs, politicians, etc.

I think all the little things people "get to do" help contribute to the "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" mentality. Take that away and there's going to be significantly less tolerance for corruption.

And the elites will create a system where the only way to vote is to spill blood.

[-] Kurious84@lemmings.world 7 points 5 days ago

Melt face son and a bitch. You can't take that wealth with you scumbag.

[-] appropriateghost@lemmy.ml 8 points 5 days ago

lol is this guy seriously discounting that people, fully non-anonymous and out in the public view, can be assholes?

[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

Also discounting what the rest of our definitions of assholes are.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Or that the current administration is holding up and defending a child rapist? Lmao.

[-] einlander@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

Does he count as a citizen? Will he be surveilled also to keep him in line? Will it force them to be kind to their employees and not cheat them?

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

No. Laws don’t apply to oligarchs.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

keep pushing Larry, we all dare you

[-] TheFermentalist@reddthat.com 12 points 5 days ago

The problem is that they do keep pushing. And getting away with it.

[-] shaggyb@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Suck my best behaving ball

[-] Kurious84@lemmings.world 2 points 5 days ago

I'll throw in a low hanging hairy one as well.

[-] shiroininja@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Like hell I will. I’ll be free until the clankers come for me

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 5 points 5 days ago

Not that he had anything to do with it or anything.

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

Like the Victorian era?
