Gates could probably walk into most offices and get a free coffee and an impromptu meeting with the CEO if he wants to.

Hitler experimented on hundreds of thousands of Jews and the medical world benefited from it greatly.
does that mean you're going to nuance the Nazi regime because they "did some good"?
no amount of good is worth the ounce of evil used to make it.
edit: if the ends justify the means, where do you draw the line? how many lives must suffer in order for the goal to be achieved? 1 life? 10? 1 million?
and to those of you claiming Godwin's law, I used it as an example. I don't think Bill Gates is Hitler, I never even said anything like that. we could easily use the Tuskegee Airmen and the US Department of Health. How many of those families had to suffer to make the ends justified in your opinion.
IMO none. there is no amount of loss of life that is acceptance for any means. life is precious and unique and deserves to be protected.
edit 2: I didn't realize humanity sold out their morals and ethics for the "greater good". my mistake thinking we were better than that. sorry.

schrieb am 22. Juni 2025, 22:58 zuletzt editiert vonThe point here is that in many jurisdictions doing charity exempts you from certain taxes, and it is possible to shuffle money around under the disguise of philanthropy while still getting all the financial benefits like an actual charity

I'm all for talking shit about the rich, but it better be true.
