This isn’t some moral purity thing, I’m not attacking his charity work or his political stance, I am criticising his actions, or rather ignorance, specifically on this. It’s also wildly different to criticise an actor with a bad take and no representation in politics than if he were a politician I was considering voting for. I’d still criticise the take, but if we aligned politically I’d still vote for him. Criticism is not “cancelling”.
Jesus fucking Christ the tunnel vision of this guy:
“These people have billions upon billions of dollars, like more money than any human person has ever amassed and what are they doing with it?
“Oh, they’re doing it to curry favour with somebody who’s preaching hate.
“That’s what I think … not as like a person who played in a movie. I think of it as somebody who is married to a woman who teaches disability justice in New York and lives for her students are going to get a little harder this year.”
You ever heard of the multiple genocides fuelled by Facebook?!
It’s just elitism. They think because they’ve suffered to learn C and have learned all the footguns of the language that they are smarter than people who haven’t, so they see anything higher level than C as being a baby language for babies. 30 years ago I’m sure there was the equivalent of people who exclusively worked in assembly who thought the same about C programmers.
Ah yes, it’s the immigrants’ fault that education has been underfunded for years and teaching is such a woefully underpaid career. Definitely the immigrants’ fault. No no don’t look at the last 14 years of Tory rule that included austerity!
Didn’t they effectively kill the oculus rifts with required logins and no more support?
I’m all for supporting low-to-middle incomes but it’s still a huge investment for those not in (or just outside) that bracket. I can’t spend 10k now to see the return in 20 years, assuming the rates stay decent. It’s not practical.
