“I will give away virtually all my wealth”: The Microsoft billionaire has pledged his foundation will distribute $US200 billion over the next 20 years.
True. And as much as I hate to ally with a group that I see as mostly ingorant and foolish…
If I must to choose between Bill Gates and an ignorant Trump supporter - one of the two categories has ever helped me change a flat tire on the side of the highway.
I think they’re largely wrong for why they dislike Gates, but they’re not wrong that he’s on the opposite side of an unprecedented self-propegating wealth gap and class war, from the rest of us.
Agreed. They suck. I just try to remember that they’re still actually on my (non-billionaire) side of the class war, even though they’re ingorantly actively hurting our shared cause.
I’m not actually being generous though.
My motive is knowing that the billionaires really want me to forget that even maga clowns are my natural allies, and could still benefit my cause in the future.

There’s nothing to hate about it, sharing a view isn’t allying. Political ideologies are about having consistent positions, not blindly opposing others. In fact, when you strip away all their nonsense delusions, plenty of them have the same material needs and interests as you so there is inevitably some common ground. Like you said elsewhere, we’re on the same side of the class war, whether they realize it or not.

Yes but they’re hypocritical in nature. They elected another billionaire to lead
