eh perhaps to collect usage data and somehow benefit from it.

anyone who buys a mattress that can’t work without being connected to the internet deserves this

I would normally be sympathetic to their stand except earlier this year when this first started, they called on Trump to use all available political leverages to prevent this and protect free speech. Calling on Trump to protect free speech is just absolutely ridiculous.

Even before that:

Also you don’t fund an organisation like this without getting a couple of your guys in.

They will start by calling them prisoners of wars

They could have and they should have. In fact, Hamas shouldn’t have existed in the first place but

Well here is one more wikipedia link for you to consider

Assuming that you are not arguing in bad faith and not full of bs, you can not defeat a fascist dictatorship while trying to wash away the murder and blood of another one. Unless tolerance for fascist dictatorships are completely eradicated from the world, there will always be a next one waiting to prey on weaker countries.

But I don’t have much faith for a discussion with you. Given that you equate criticism of Israel with support of Hamas or not caring for Sudanese genocide, I am almost 100% sure you are discussing in bad faith. If you really cared about Ukraine or Sudan, you would also care about the same terror being forced onto Palestinian children and civilians.

Given that he first claimed Trump was in the files and then apologised, the only valid devil’s advocate is “maybe he thought he had some proof but later realized it wasn’t conclusive”. The other options involve either him trying to blackmail Trump on a very sensitive matter or withholding critical information to preserve his fortune at the face of threats by Trump, both of which are ethically way worse than the first option.

Lets assume first option is true, which is not completely insane imo, after all his DOGE team did make many erroneous claims during their lifetime which were debunked later (and in many instances it was realized that they just had not analysed the situation carefully enough and jumped to conclusions). But then we are facing a man, whose impaired political judgement skills are proven time and time again, and yet who is trying to steer world wide politics towards his opinion by appearing at extremist right wing rallies. The net negative effect of this option is just as bad if he is going to make such grand claims on world issues based on his judgement skills.

He donated a sizeable fraction of a billion to a guy whom he said is in the Epstein files, and the latter only after they had a falling-out. So yea, I won’t really believe his words on the matter.

projection or more like target distraction?

I am going to give it >%10 chance given how he made AI videos of Obama being arrested lol. Look at how Obama is a naturally charismatic speaker, everything Trump wants to be but can’t. So he tries to make up for his negative skills in this domain by throwing money at it and flaunting his horribly unjustified self confidence.

this guy is a sore loser even when he wins the election lol

god: “Ima give it screw shape for the extra fuck you”

Hope he finds that woman, conductor and police chief and sues their ass (like any good it will do, but at least the internet can make a public example of her).
