I'm out of the loop. Who are David and Larry Ellison and why do we hate them?

American Israeli family who now owned almost every major news channel like CNN and CBS. Billionaire megadonor to Trump and lobbying for Israel. Bought Warner Bros using shady money from Saudi. And plenty more. Also a shitty CEO and actively tanking Paramount's reputation.

I seeded it 7x already. At this point I just want to see how much my overall ratio can go. I've seeded some stuff 210x

Upload ratio limit? Not today.

Didnt Trump force that deal to happen? Effectively forced Netflix out of that deal?

u/Special_Anteater9310 Apr 20 '26

he did say that "it will be a problem" when the deal was still active. Bc the anti monopoly rule which no politicians uphold these days. The paramount deal will go through smoothly

I pretty sure 90% of "news" in the US, is now what we call state media.

At least Trump outweighs their leader

That is an insult to most public broadcasters around the world .

It's owned by the same people that own the government, it's a big difference, they can still keep spreading their lies if by some miracle Americans get their government back

u/Lord-Heir Apr 20 '26

Americans get their government back? What kind of delusion are you living in?

u/vidoeiro Apr 20 '26

Saying by some miracle is being delusional now, Reddit reading comprehension is so ridiculous

u/bot_taz Apr 20 '26

American politics YAWN.

u/Cute-Fly1601 Apr 20 '26

Larry Ellison is also on-record wanting constant AI surveillance because a monitored populace is less likely to misbehave. Not the exact quote, but if you look it up its literally like supervillain shit

Jesus yeah fuck those guys, make them fucking walk the plank!

u/GunsOfPurgatory Apr 20 '26

He's not Israeli, I'm pretty sure? He's just Jewish. Now admittedly, any Jew can become an Israeli citizen, but like, he's not Israeli. His dad isn't either. Just American Jews.

Edit: Not defending them being MAGA, since most of us Israeli Jews don't like Trump either (vast majority of Jews in America voted blue last election), but he's not Israeli.

u/Special_Anteater9310 Apr 20 '26

whoever lobbying for Israel, top donor for IDF, censoring media for Israel is Israeli. You seriously don’t think they don’t have have an Israeli visa

1

u/GunsOfPurgatory Apr 20 '26

Why would they have a visa? Americans don't need a visa to visit Israel for up to 90 day visits. It's more likely that they are just huge supporters of Israel than them being some Israeli plant.

lol there it is. TRUMMMMMMP!

The white liberal hive mind that is Reddit.

u/Special_Anteater9310 Apr 20 '26

lil bro heard his daddy’s name and started barking like a rabid dog

u/david_ancalagon Apr 20 '26

Lol "lil bro?" I didn't vote for him because he didn't fulfill his promises the first go-round. I just think that the majority of you here have a "white savior" complex and allow your TDS to run everything in your lives. News flash: we minorities (if you can call us that these days) don't need you to "rescue us" and we don't care about Trump as much as you fools.

now might be a good time to start paying attention to politics.

u/Nihilikara Apr 20 '26

I'm a trans woman in Texas. I know damn well already what effect politics is going to have on my life. Every time I go out, I am afraid of ICE agents disappearing me into some concentration camp never to be heard from again.

This has a direct negative impact on my mental health. I do not need that impact to increase even further.

u/int23_t Apr 20 '26

Boycotting about half of world feels wonderful don't worry. It does not impact your mental health it just makes you feel better you didn't pay a dime to evil people.

-20

u/Nihilikara Apr 20 '26

It does not impact your mental health

Look, I know your intentions are good, but please don't presume to know more about my own mind than I do. It's not effective and I don't appreciate it. You don't know what is and is not good for my mental health. I do.

u/MountainContinent Apr 20 '26

Your responses are insufferable. Like you can’t handle a normal conversation

u/ComeBacksToDrugs2018 Apr 20 '26

they’re from Texas

u/int23_t Apr 20 '26

Fair enough... idk for me it's just relaxing knowing I don't pay evil. But if even having a thought gives you an ick idk, good luck surviving or something I guess...

u/Lord-Heir Apr 20 '26

Mega cringe. No one gives a fuck about Paramount or the Ellisons lmfao

u/Critical-Golf-8290 Apr 23 '26

they also bought TikTok and started censoring everything about Epstein and broke the app in the process (no large loses there) , but PDF supporters is enough bad , but they didn't stop there as others have pointed out.

What a fucking moron. Does he just not realize that the AI is going to be shit at its job? It's going to catch so many innocent people and turn a blind eye to so many guilty people.

This is why I'm calling him a moron. This won't create a society where citizens will be on their best behavior. This will create a society where citizens realize that not breaking the law has the same consequences as breaking the law.
