Larry Ellison predicts rise of the modern surveillance state where ‘citizens will be on their best behavior’
while billionaires keep raping kids? yea no, go fuck yourself. this sounds like ravings of a person afraid of losing his possessions and life.
Sci-Fi Author George Orwell: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus telescreen as a cautionary tale
Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus telescreen from classic sci-fi dystopian novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Why do billionaires always look like creepy Madame Tussauds wax statues?
He's literally 80 years old. You can only do so much to hide your age before you start looking absurd.
He says that the police will be under constant surveillance. They already are and they still get away with crimes. Unless being a criminal is a cops best behaviour.
Hey man, nice shot.
McNulty!
Says a wealth-hoarding, mass carbon-polluting asshole. His ethics and those of everyday people are vastly vastly different due to his inability to pay taxes.
*You best start believing in Technofeudalist societies, you're in one. *
How about the billionaires? Any rules for them?
lol, no.
If the billionaires want the Chinese model for us, it's only fair they fall under that same model.
You know what? Seeing as how we're getting it anyway whether we like it or not, I think I'd voluntarily take the surveillance state and censorship if it comes with rich people getting absolutely stomped by the government when they get out of line.
Maybe we can adopt the Vietnamese model where that billionaire either pays back $9 billion of embezzled funds or gets executed.
If we can't have a real democracy with real freedom I at least want blood of vengeance to bathe in from time to time.
Mr. Ed Snowden would like a word.
Fed into woodchippers like they deserve.
Truly nothing like Big Brother telling you he's gonna big brother you. And of course don't forget that those in power will never be subjected to this, it's only for the little peasants in case they may decide to not fully conform to their ideal society (wageslaving to make the rich richer until you drop dead)
Can we have a crowd-sourced bounty system for billionaires? The more billions they have the higher the bounty. I think it would be a good investment of public funds and benefit mankind greatly.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Melt face son and a bitch. You can't take that wealth with you scumbag.
Oracle is one of the worst companies in history and it's products are ass.
ORACLE: One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison
Isn't that literally the premise of 1984?
This is a reminder post. Remember when tech billionaire Larry Ellison said this?
The 0.1% are like turbo hedonists. If they beat the population into being severe ascetics then the ones who stick out will be: elites, politicians, authorities, politicians, suck-ups, spoiled heirs, politicians, etc.
I think all the little things people "get to do" help contribute to the "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" mentality. Take that away and there's going to be significantly less tolerance for corruption.
And the elites will create a system where the only way to vote is to spill blood.
LOL! So republicans will stop committing crimes? Can't wait to see your son destroy CBS/Paramount.
lol is this guy seriously discounting that people, fully non-anonymous and out in the public view, can be assholes?
Also discounting what the rest of our definitions of assholes are.
Or that the current administration is holding up and defending a child rapist? Lmao.
Golly, sounds like it’s time to watch Larry Ellison a lot closer too.
Suck my best behaving ball
I'll throw in a low hanging hairy one as well.
Like hell I will. I’ll be free until the clankers come for me
Does he count as a citizen? Will he be surveilled also to keep him in line? Will it force them to be kind to their employees and not cheat them?
No. Laws don’t apply to oligarchs.
keep pushing Larry, we all dare you
The problem is that they do keep pushing. And getting away with it.
Like the Victorian era?
Not that he had anything to do with it or anything.
Someone should Luigi this fuckwit
