Whenever someone pulls out the “dEmOcRaTs WeRe ThE cOnFeDeRaTeS” argument, you know they’re either dumb as fuck or arguing entirely in bad faith. Like bro the parties switched in the 1960s it’s just names at this point.

My single biggest Reddit pet peeve was how they would idolize people who absolutely did not deserve it (see also: old Elon Musk). And lately they’ve been giving Mark Cuban the same treatment. I’m sad to see it happen on Lemmy as well.
Mark Cuban made his billions by quite literally scamming Yahoo. Like say what you will about Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, but at least they made products that people actually use. Then he followed the Trump path of making a shitty reality TV show which grossly inflated his business acumen. And now people are treating him as a saint for pedaling a new company that’s supposed to fix the pharma industry. First of all, he’s not doing this out of charity - it’s 100% strictly a business venture. And second, you know what would fix drug prices? Single payer healthcare. Like there are literally dozens of other countries that sell these same drugs for nothing because they have nationalized healthcare.

Well he definitely said that in 2020, and if someone had had the foresight to ask him in 2016 he probably would have said it then as well, so I’m going to go ahead and be a little skeptical here.
“Wei Wu” has an avatar that looks like it was AI generated, not to mention they’re verified on twitter and they talk exactly like a western person doing a Chinese caricature. Seems fake too me.
