Bill + Melinda Gates Foundation is a fun litmus test for leftists because you either have to claim (and secretly hope) Gates is a fraud or admit that not all billionaires are evil.
To the average non-leftist it is very obvious he cares about humanity and is doing his best to help it.
Bill is, and always has been, a sociopath. It’s a requirement to becoming a billionaire outside of inheritance. He ‘cares’ about humanity because it’s a useful vector through which to launder his reputation.
A truly uplifting story would be if he were advocating to prevent billionaires from existing. Any society which tolerates that level of wealth concentration is suicidal.
For the average supporter of the trump regime, it’s a globalist conspiracy—Gates is seen as a symbol of elite overreach, vaccine mandates, and technocratic control.
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.

The foundation exists because of Melinda.

Hell, he has all the means he needs to get ACTUAL progressives elected. The man is a piece of shit through and through.
What is your argument that it is not an advertising budget
Billionaires are evil, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are all consciously evil. They’re “evil” like cancer.
Of course, many of them are consciously evil, too, but obviously that part is a choice.

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