Hypothetically, if Larry was eaten, would other billionaires be on their best behavior and stop positing fascist control mechanisms?
Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 4 months ago
That’s a testable hypothesis.
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 4 months ago
You go right ahead. I’m not eating any of those assholes. They’re only held together by hatred and bitterness. I’d assume the taste would be influenced by that.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Nope. All their egos wouldn’t allow them to believe that anybody would ever do anything to THEM.

We don’t need citizens to be on their best behavior, we need millionaires and billionaires to be on their best behavior.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 months ago
This is their best behaviour.
MITM0@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Actually there are good millionaires & billionaires (I’m being serious)
It’s just that, they’re no longer Millionaires & Billionaires anymore (Or Alive)

Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think ‘oh, the lawnmower hates me’ – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle. — Brian Cantrill

Oh yeah, I consider him to be the worst billionaire of em all, even “trumping” that muskrat…

Oracle, the official company of “Look, we’re developer friendly now, our stuff is open source and free to use! Oh, right, you’ve activated my trap card, now pay 10k per every employee of your company because you used our proprietary JDK mwhahahahaha”
TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Literally 1984.
Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Yeah, and a simple wooden construction with a movable metal blade keeps billionaires on their best behaviour. Or at least it did in the 18th century.
Cruxifux@feddit.nl 4 months ago
They didn’t have billionaires back then.
fuck_u_spez_in_particular@lemmy.world 4 months ago
But people with comparable wealth at that time
Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Billionaires, royalty, that thing works on anyone really.

This man is dangerous and needs to go away immediately.
limelight79@lemm.ee 4 months ago
After 9/11/01, he said, “You have no privacy anyway. Get over it. We should have a national ID card database.” (paraphrased, but that was the gist)
I’m not disputing that he’s dangerous, but I’m pretty sure his comments are mostly driven by wanting to sell Oracle licenses. Which somehow makes it worse.
penquin@lemm.ee 4 months ago
He can keep dreaming. People are angry and will fucking eat him alive. I can feel the anger in the air.
AshMan85@lemmy.world 4 months ago
idk, the gov’t already has us under their boot
penquin@lemm.ee 4 months ago
Trust me, people are very angry, but our media never talks about it, that’s why we don’t see it.

And by “citizens” you mean slaves.

On coins, on stamps, on the covers of books, on banners, on posters, and on the wrappings of a cigarette Packet – [Big Brother was] everywhere. Always the eyes watching you and the voice enveloping you. Asleep or awake, working or eating, indoors or out of doors, in the bath or in bed – no escape. Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull.
– George Orwell, Nineteen-Eighty-Fourphoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
And even those few cubic centimeters will only be yours as long as we don’t have the tech yet to access that. Once that tech is available, it’s an inevitability that that too will be theirs

Somebody read or watched 1984 and thought that’s a wonderful idea. Or is he just trying to cozy up to the Chinese government? Or the drugs long term effects are kicking in? Who knows.

These people are fundamentally narcissistic and think they personally know not only how the world works, but also how it ought to work. You can see the somewhat innocent version of that in Apple’s “you’re holding it wrong” fiasco.
That kind of arrogance is kind of normal if you’re a very intelligent teenager, since most of the people around you are indeed less intelligent than you, but most people get their reality check pretty soon and grow up. Business ghouls like Larry, however, never got their reality check. They managed to become successful early in life and still operate under that childish mindset.

That dude was never on his best behavior. And now he wants to punish anyone that is going to out live him.
it happens to all rich old people; how dare you live past them.
iAvicenna@lemmy.world 4 months ago
what he really means is that me and my buddies are fucking everyone else and we are afraid that there will be retaliation so we need mass surveillance
hark@lemmy.world 4 months ago
There’s a different solution that can ensure billionaires will be on their best behavior.
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Right, because billionaires will just fall over and concede - they won’t impose draconian security and lockdown mentality on our whole society through their government puppets. Yes indeed, the movie character approach that makes you feel badass is a sure-fire winner.
