Somebody read or watched 1984 and thought that's a wonderful idea. Or is he just trying to cozy up to the Chinese government? Or the drugs long term effects are kicking in? Who knows.

These people are fundamentally narcissistic and think they personally know not only how the world works, but also how it ought to work. You can see the somewhat innocent version of that in Apple's "you're holding it wrong" fiasco.

That kind of arrogance is kind of normal if you're a very intelligent teenager, since most of the people around you are indeed less intelligent than you, but most people get their reality check pretty soon and grow up. Business ghouls like Larry, however, never got their reality check. They managed to become successful early in life and still operate under that childish mindset.

Move to china you dick length.

That dude was never on his best behavior. And now he wants to punish anyone that is going to out live him.

it is an attitude that happens to many rich old people; how dare you live past them and enjoy it.

I used to think I was heading toward abject poverty as our bs systems were going into more bs but now Im getting more hopeful. Maybe I will be dead or in prison.

Larry and his ultra-rich megawank friends can all go first and show us the way

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 days ago

It will only ensure the opposite.

Larry "Xi Jinping" Ellison

[–] tektite@slrpnk.net 15 points 6 days ago

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Give the entirety of Lana'i to the Native Hawaiians via Hawaiian Home Lands and boot Larry Ellison out into the sea on a raft or something.

Panopticon will not be the way
