At this point i probably won’t believe it’s over until an AI Lego video raps about it

I bet these idiots fed an AI all his emails to get make it sound more like him

Yeah I agree and wasn’t trying to make the guy a saint or anything, just trying to add some nuance to the discussion from the impact he had on my life specifically. Although that said, I would probably put Ted on the ‘less evil’ end of the bell curve of billionaires.

Being from the Atlanta area makes my opinion of Ted really complicated, obviously he was a billionaire which is inherently unethical, but he also really helped put Atlanta on the map in the 90s. TBS, the Braves, Captain Planet, TNT, the Cartoon Network, and Adult Swim were all things that directly brought my childhood joy and can trace their origins back to Ted Turner. His contributions to the repopulation of American bison shouldn’t be ignored either.

There are no ethical billionaires but I have a difficult time looking at Turner in the same way I do Zuck, Musk, Gates, etc.

Edit: Jesus I forgot WCW, he surely was a man with faults but Ted was the antithesis of Vince McMahon for a period of time. And standing afainst Vince is almost always the morally correct position

He has, but in fairness Russia told everyone that when it invaded Ukraine, who had nukes and gave them up! And also Trump told everyone again last year when he first attacked Tehran last year… and when he did the coup d’état in Venezuela.

I’m starting to think the goal is to destroy the overall control the Middle East has over the oil supply. The US has shit loads of oil and if the rest of the world doesn’t shift to renewables they will eventually have to buy from the US or Russia if they can’t from the Saudis, Iran, etc.

It’s not a smart plan globally but in the minds of energy companies it’s good short term business and creates international leverage the administration can use against the rest of the world

He’s not wrong, but he’s still an asshole

The motivations for anything have gotten super foggy because there’s so many threads. But it seems to me that the ultimate goal must be the destruction of the global economy and thus the overall globalized world order in order to return to a feudal society including serfs and lords

That no one has posted either the Oprah gif or the Tommy Boy clip is extraordinarily disappointing

I assure you that the folks in charge in Georgia already have their answer to that, lookup who staffs the governors mansion in Atlanta. It ain’t immigrants, it’s incarcerated black people, and that’s exactly who they’ll use

“You government is run by pedophiles, they ordered you to die for Israel”

Good post, I’m such a man and didn’t mean to minimize that

So I’m not trying to defend the other poster but genocide by definition does not have to include mass death. And can include any of the following

1. Killing members of the group;
2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Witchcraft working doesn’t necessitate a deity, just that those fine practitioners have tapped into energy source we haven’t been able to scientifically detect, study, and harness yet.

Early stage is usually nothing, he’s old but prostate cancer usually takes like a decade to be serious. Shame it ain’t pancreatic.

That is who I was thinking of lol

Firing squads are too clean, I want gallows, I want gallows run by someone who ain’t any count at running a gallows, so they all die in terrible ways
