Fact Check: List of claims about Bill Gates includes falsities
Not to defend the guy but there are enough real skeletons in his closet. We don't need to spread misinformation.
Respectfuly, if you want to fact check someone atleast say what fact you are checking. Although perhaps I could have been more clear.
For the record, Bill Gates is complicit in the genocide in Gaza
And he has connections with Epstein who on top of the whole child rape side gig was very successful at laundering money to send to Israel.
For both of these to support your argument, you must be saying that owning stock in a company that benefits from business or weapons that benefit Israel makes the stockholder "complicit in the genocide in Gaza". If you're saying that than probably about 60% of Americans would be "complicit in the genocide in Gaza" as they have stock including index total market funds or S&P 500 funds which have fractions of shares in many of those same companies.
That seems like an overly broad definition to me, but if that is your definition, then your claim is true.
This one just talks about Gates being involved with Israel on climate change actions without any Gates involvement in Gaza. So have to assume your position is that being involved with Israel on issues affecting all of us globally is also an endorsement of genocide. That too, seems like an extreme position.
Please stop with all your critical thinking. /s
Is this logic that someone specifically investing vs having a retirement fund or similar is the same thing?
You'd have to ask @ CubitOom@infosec.pub. My guess is they would consider both "complicit in genocide in Gaza" with their broad definition.
Melinda shit canned his ass for good reasons.
