    They're also carrying their microchip in their pockets.

    I don't understand the Gates hatred either. He walked away from Microsoft and dedicated his life and fortune to improving the human condition. The bastard.

      Let's just be thankful he isn't Jewish as well as everything else. They'd be howling at the freaking moon.

        My knee is the smartest part of my body and it is a very quick thinker. It seems to "jerk" from your slower frame of reference but its reactions are well-considered.

          For me not understanding Gates hatred is not understanding the nexus of whacked out people and rich people who could benefit from making stuff up.

            Gates hatred appears on my radar only inasmuch as it's something for people to make fun of. I find that lots of allegedly important ideas are like that. There is power in convincing people that they are smart because "look what all the dumb people in that other tribe think".

            Education is extremely important.

              My wife's unfriended a handful of folks over the Gates crap. Aside from the COVID stuff they'd appear to be typical conservatives.

                It's important, though, because otherwise you won't be able to make fun of the people making fun of the people who think Bill Gates is a lizard.

                  I share Horace’s intuition that the Gates conspiracists are largely members of his tribe.

                        I might be more privileged and particular about the idea streams I associate with than typical conservatives. That could account for it.
