For my own sanity I’m going to believe it is

they actually meant "tip your landlord into the nearest garbage bin"

"There are dozens of us! Dozens (fractional)!"

“California is, I believe, the only state to give health insurance to people who come into the country illegally,” Kauffman said nervously. “I think we probably should not be providing that.”

“So you’d rather everyone just be sick, and get everyone else sick?” another reporter asked.

“That’s not what I’m saying,” said Kauffman.

“Isn’t that effectively what happens?” the reporter countered. “They don’t have access to health care and they just have to get sick, right?”

Kauffman contemplated that one for a moment. “Then they have to just get sick,” he said. “I mean, it’s unfortunate, but I think that it’s sort of impossible to have both liberal immigration laws and generous government benefits.”

Do I need to comment on this one?

Also a rapist per allegations on twitter.

with the current state of billionaires that was to be expected

Major "pick me" energy in that first photo.

The grass was literally right there, guys.

I think their brains have just been thoroughly microwaved by social media feedback loops. I remarked elsewhere that I'm not sure these people are or can be earnest about this (cf. the fact that the billionaires they're celebrating are laser-focused on the tech they claim might doom the world); they're simply too conditioned towards creating outrage content for Twitter. To me, this is more akin to LARPing "Leave Britney alone!" than it is serious political activism.

Do you reckon it was a net negaive for them? It's heartening (to me) that it was such a damp squib, and it's always entertaining to witness the civillians' reaction to their first taste of TPOT.

Seeing these dingdongs in the sunlight helps observers get over the "It cant be that stupid" barrier, in my experience.

But maybe a billionaire will notice them, and be pleased. That makes it all worthwhile.

Sorry this is tiktok but it feels very relevant: https://www.tiktok.com/@keegantindall/video/7324804303376436526

And the BO

"It’s horrifying to see normal people you dance with turn into nazis so easily."

..you're calling the people who hate the billionaires nazis? have you seen what the average billionaire has gotten up to recently???

so many temporarily embarassed millionaires there, with the clarity of mind and purpose of a precocious seven-year-old.

Nice to see the top comment being about how such excess concentration of wealth is kind of bullshit actually.

strong echoes of the (probably fictional) reddit tale of the anarcho-capitalist who gets beaten up by real anarchists in Greece.

Sorry phone picture and tangent but wow I sure regret digging and looking at this man's horrible blog and his horrible commenters

I don’t blame people for not understanding the complexities of a global economy that makes it possible to buy a nearly-magic artifact that no human alive can create on their own for just 16 cents.[1] It feels like there is a certain amount of Stuff in the world, and so if some people have a lot of Stuff that’s only possible because others have much less Stuff, and that’s unfair. If life is hard, it’s the fault of the people who took all the Stuff.

What a cunt.
