Is Bill Gates really a comic book villian?

So I read alot that people think Bill Gates is like some sort of comic book villian. He has plans to inject us all with micro chips and vaccines etc...

I always new he was a bit of an asshole and underhanded business man, but I never really heard he was behind some sort of world villainy.

Is he really evil and we should be weary about anything he is behind?

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
Those rumors are coming from a TED interview in which he suggested finger printing people with the excuse of keeping track of their immunities for access across borders. The video was later edited out.


It is still up in the air for me. Apparently he had been building up pharmaceutical companies long ago, and understood the pandemic well before the WHO.

He had way more data than the WHO somehow.

He drives a very methodical approach when it comes to his philanthropy.
Vaccines are his thing because it gives him the biggest bang for the buck in the number of lives saved vs dollars spent.

Not dying of diseases thanks to science-based medicine, vaccines and better hygiene was one of the major achievements in all industrial societies. Low child mortality also leads to a reduction in the number of children. This connection is taken out of context by many conspiracy theorists and they talk nonsense about population control and stuff like that.

he did send the first ever DMCA notice. as a member of the pioneering Homebrew Computer Club, the general rule was open source, people willing sharing their code, showing off things they programmed with the proto computers at the time. it was a hobbytists club. then Bill Gates came in one day and serves everyone a letter warning about copying software.
The Homebrew Computer Club's newsletter was one of the most influential forces in the formation of the culture of Silicon Valley. Created and edited by its members, it initiated the idea of the personal computer, and helped its members build the original kit computers, like the Altair. One such influential event was the publication of Bill Gates's "Open Letter to Hobbyists", which lambasted the early hackers of the time for violating the copyrights of commercial software programs.

Apple even poked fun at this in their 1976 advertisements
In early 1976 ads for its Apple I computer, Apple Inc made the claims that "our philosophy is to provide software for our machines free or at minimal cost" and "yes folks, Apple BASIC is Free".

ironically, it was software pirating that ended up making Gates' version of BASIC the standard one
The industry needs the hobbyists and this was illustrated by what happened eventually. When National Semiconductor, which made their own microprocessor chips in '77 or '78, decided they needed a BASIC ... they asked, 'What's the most popular BASIC?' And the answer was Microsoft BASIC because everybody had copied it and everybody was using it. So we made Microsoft the standard BASIC. National Semiconductor went to Microsoft and bought a license, they were in business that way. This was the marketing function and the hobbyists did the marketing with a complete antipathy of the company in question. There were other BASICs and, you know, some of them might even have been better. ... [Gates's later success] was in a certain measure because of what we did, that he said we shouldn't do, we were thieves to do it, and all.

I’ve met three people who claim to have been in a room with him in a business setting and all three say he’s the biggest asshole they’ve ever met.

Based on their stories have extreme doubt about the man doing anything that doesn’t benefit himself in some way.

I think the Gates foundation is a tax shelter designed to ensure his kids have access to political power and untaxed wealth generation.

i'm not gonna dig on gates, he's in my good graces, supported khanacademy in its early days
He's also the primary reason for Common Core education, which is a disaster on essentially all levels (though I do actually think it was created with good intentions).

I'm not convinced that the things he's created and/or want to create are done with malicious intent from him, but it's not hard to see how such things could be easily abused.

He’s just another little bitch imo

Only he has wealth. If he is doing anything underhanded or evil even, that’s on him. Abusing power and harming the innocent are two extreme examples of cowardice. If he does have a hand in such endeavors he’s marked as a coward. There’s nothing worse than that

And for the record, almost everyone with that kind of money probably can’t be trusted

The Netflix docu (Inside Bill's Brain) is pretty good--if a little all over the place--for anyone who wants to see what he's been up to since leaving MS.

I like to believe that, in his retirement, he's making up for being amoral and ruthless while running MS, and he's trying to undo a lot of that by giving back to the world. He doesn't want to be remembered as the asshole that he was. And his vices always seemed to be money and business standing, less so surveillance. That's more Zuckerberg's thing.

Apparently Soros is old news and the blogosphere needs a new fresh villain to drive clicks.

Anyone who hates on Bill Gates or feeds into these theories needs to some major corrections.

he’s a guy who conquered the world by adhering to its rules, and then got bored with making money and decided to do the greatest amount of good he could do with his brain and wealth.

there is honestly no clearer example of a modern saint. I’m sorry for you if you can’t understand this.

I love Bill, but he was God's attempt to bring Gyro Gearloose to life:

He could have saved many more lives giving everyone in the world CLEAN drinking water many times over instead of injecting them with vaccines.

He was part of Event 201. He wants ID2020.

He is worse than most comic villains.
How dumb do you have to be to think that participating in a pandemic preparedness exercise is somehow a condemnation of one's character? I thought maybe you could speak from experience.

He didn't adhere to its rules, at least not when leading Microsoft. I'm old enough to remember that. Lost at least one anti-trust case in the US, fined multiple times for the same behavior by the EU.

Most of these people who discover philanthropy in their old age are making up for evil shit they did in the past while keeping the IRS at bay.

That said, his money doesn't have an opinion. It can do any number of good things for other people. I approve of just about every initiative of his that I've heard.

Misleading thread title. His type, the megabillionaires, are sometimes characterized for being villanous comic personas. Just look at that scary image of pale-faced robotic Mark Zuckerberg in court a while ago, or any Bond villain. The real question should be who is he exactly?

Being on home office and being of a cynical mindset, I've had the wonderful opportunity to listen to Infowars everyday, the whole four-hour show, it's fantastic.

Now I know I'll be laughed at but that's why I write that above statement, I've been laughed at all my life, I don't care anymore.

Bill Gates's family come from a line of psychopaths who want nothing more than world order, and they are supported by the world's richest. 2020 is the time when we see their evil plan in action.

Jones and his guests are breaking down the evidence, that being vitamins and zinc (and more) are all that are required (in a hospital) to beat this. Evidence is coming from doctors now who report methods of high doses curing the disease. Newer reports from doctors today suggest that respirators actually make death certain and shouldn't be used.

Jones doesn't suggest the virus isn't real or that people aren't dying. The WHO want to split families up, Big Pharma want to make money off of death, and Dr. Fauci gets millions/billions from Gates to make sure we wait for the digital vaccine certificate in our bodies, like 1984 basically. Evil, evil, evil actions.

Gates wants to control humanity, but he can't. We weren't born to be controlled. That doesn't make it a conspiracy. He is human with mistaken deluded thoughts of himself as the leader over all life, but the truth is each individual is their own leader of their own destiny.

This whole situation has reminded me of the importance of religious practice and human spirit, and I'm doing my part by dedicating myself harder to inward longterm goals of finding human peace. The totalitarian left or communist dictatorships or the technocracy cannot win, Gates cannot save us, he is the villain.

Sad to see NeoGAF has fallen so low to crazy conspiracy Facebook group status. What the hell am I reading? People like this guy here need to seek help, very quickly.

I just don't know who appointed him King of Humanity. He's been all over the media the past month telling everyone how things must be done. And of course it is all about handing more power and control to governments and the UN.

Everyone forgets he's just a rich guy with an opinion. And he became a rich guy by stomping over the 80s computer industry like Godzilla in Tokyo. He's not a good guy, and anyone who thinks that sociopathy left him when he stepped down from MS is naive.

Why, what are you talking about? You don't know me. That's why I posted it. It's just a general summary on a video game message board. I don't care what people like you say. That post isn't "me". I don't speak like this in real life. Feel free to judge from your scientific perch though because the others said I'm the problem.

Tell me - what exactly did I post that requires psychological help?

Edited for being a prick myself: Sorry, I shouldn't talk like that, doesn't really do my arguments of spirituality any good. tesseract below is right about it all. Sorry to you sleepnaught sleepnaught I'm only trying to get through this crazy situation myself. I'm not a Jones faithful, flat-Earther type. Peace.

I could only stomach part of the first episode of that. I understand how easy it would be to slip into such a state when you've enjoyed so much success, but he comes off as such an absolute narcissist in it. Like, he's gone deep into his own shit, and he's loving that smell.
