He's an idiot-savant. A total moron with a special talent for self promotion. Which it turns out gets you very far in life (along with the head start one gets being born wealthy).

Do you remember Judith Miller and the leading role the NYT took lying the US into the war in Iraq? Whatever "good" journalism the NYT does, it's just to buy them the legitimacy they need to spread the lies that matter.

Imagine having a personality disorder, basically. Wealth inequality is bad for the wealthy, too. It either turns them into freaks or it enables their inherent freakishness. Either way, they need their wealth to be redistributed and they personally to be reduced to the median level of wealth for everyone's, including their own, benefit.

Wouldn't it be so wonderful if we could somehow get these people to understand that their ideas are bad without having to directly experience the consequences of them?

The devs being who they are is a big reason this place was not attractive to nazis and other reactionary trolls who were banned from reddit the way other reddit alternatives have ended up in the past. Say what you will but I would deal with whatever we have going on here over whatever Voat, for example, became 100% of the time.

It's been pretty nice. I've been catching up on new (to me) music releases.
