Sneerquence #9×10^10: The Not-So-Benevolent Billionaire
Author Summary
completely-ineffable is in 9×10^10
Post Body

This sneerquence is dedicated to the people on sneerclub I saw coming dangerously close to simping for Billy Gates. Edit: including in this very thread.

The Citations Needed podcast did a two-part episode digging into Bill Gates. In their words:

So in this two part episode we’re going to ask how much Gates’ network of patronage effects his coverage in US media, which is broadly overwhelmingly positive and uncritical of Bill Gates. We want to figure out how you can be critical without sort of being too paranoid or too cynical and what the true nature of the capitalist ideology that animates Bill Gates, how it manifests, and how oftentimes it ends up harming the very people it ostensibly aims to help.

It can be listened to via soundcloud (part 1 and part 2), and they also posted transcripts (part 1 and part 2).
