Well, he certainly isn't going without shit, so fuck him.
Until this fascist cunt starts living like the High Sparrow from Game of Thrones I'm not going without shit.

Are you serious? Because he wants the flyover country of the world to suffer while he, the ruling class, goes without nothing.why is he a fascist?
I've got a total mental block to the word fascist and despite it being explained to me and looking up the definition multiple times, every time I see the word, I scratch my head in confusion. My aunt couldn't tell her left from her right, maybe I've got the fascist version of that
Lol, wut?Are you serious? Because he wants the flyover country of the world to suffer while he, the ruling class, goes without nothing.
For a usually fairly smart dude you can be pretty fucking obtuse at times
Fine you give up your car and eat the fake meat while he goes about his life as usual, 'm not going toLol, wut?
I may be obtuse but you're a hot head that lets your emotions get the best of you but I got nothing but love for ya cause I see your passionate and the type of person that if you're a friend, you'll do just about anything to have the back of those you care about so I look past your fits and try to understand where you're coming from. So sorry if that riles you up, its certainly not my intent.
Further, I'm not going to come here and talk of my ass about things I don't know or understand so if that makes me obtuse, find and dandy. I'm open to being enlightened, that's why I readily admit when I dont know something and ask others to explain, especially when folks like yourself speak in such extreme absolutes
So how are coming up with your conclusions? What do expect him to do, give up all of his wealth and then he's allowed to have an opinion?
He, his wife and their foundation have devoted themselves to wiping out polio off the planet (& basically succeeded), he's working to redesign nuclear power plants so they're smaller and safer clean sources of energy, he's an intelligent guy that is doing a hell of a lot more than most people on the planet and given the resources he has, he could have chosen to be a playboy seeking carnal pleasures for the rest of his days but instead he appears to be working daily to see that his wealth does more than simply benefit himself and his family. I'd rather have extreme wealth in the hands of people like this than our government every day of the week and Sunday
Now this doesnt mean everything he says is gospel but he's done enough and I find him thoughtful & intelligent enough to make me want to listen and consider what he has to say and root him when I think he's doing something good
Is it the fact that he said lock downs could last into the summer or even 2022 that earned him the facist label in your eyes?
If its so obvious, then please post a few obvious examples, I dont follow his every move or hang on his every word but from what Ive seen and heard in various interviews and documentaries, I cant draw the conclusion he's a facist and thus far consider his contributions to be a net positiveNot sure why it’s so hard to grasp. He’s another ‘Do as I say, not as I do’ guy. Tells us we need to cut down on or travel. Cut down on our emissions. Etc... then continues to cruise around the world on a private jet.
Among other things.
If he said cow farts are going to be the end of the world, please post his speech or video for his words and I'll check it outYeah, his work against polio is great, but other than that I wish he had become a playboy (good luck with that, even money has its limits) instead of enforcing his view of how things should be upon me and the rest of the entire planet just so he and his elite buddies can feel good about themselves.
When you start telling me cow farts are going to be the end of the world and therefore I should be eating protein manufactured in a plant, you've gone off the deep end.
BTW, what's he doing about China building more coal plants every month and belching far more CO2 into the atmosphere than we do? Let me guess, absolutely nothing.
Come on man, you can do better than this as a response, cite a few examples of evidence demonstrating he's what you claim, it should be easy if its so obviousFine you give up your car and eat the fake meat while he goes about his life as usual, 'm not going to
Bill Gates thinks we should start eating synthetic beef (nypost.com)If he said cow farts are going to be the end of the world, please post his speech or video for his words and I'll check it out
thank you sir, I'll read
I didn't and wouldn't call him that, but I can see where jsmith is coming from. Any time government and business merge to exert dictatorial control over the people, that's fascism. It's hard to not immediately associate it with Hitler and company, but that's technically what it is. (I know there are all kinds of banal sophomoric arguments about Fascism vs Communism etc all over the internet, but that's a simplistic definition.)thank you sir, I'll read
Before I do, does his opinion on this subject make him a facist in your opinion, if so, how?
I dont know why I have such a mental block to the word facist, maybe its because its thrown around toward everyone and everything these days.
I think of power in the hands of a brutal few (like the Nazi's) as facist not people who hold opinions I disagree with but I'm open to expanding my understanding

Yeah I'm with you, it's a word that gets thrown around way too often to describe someone whose opinion you don't like. Hell they did it with Donald Trump many times and that didn't even make sense.thank you sir, I'll read

You mean, like, racist?There seem to be words that get thrown around so often that they just sort of lose meaning
Yeah absolutely.You mean, like, racist?
To be clear I didn't think for a second he wanted to do either on the jew/swaistica frontI didn't and wouldn't call him that, but I can see where jsmith is coming from.

I don't think he was claiming Gates wanted to wear a swastika and kill Jews.
