    He’s not a politician and has shown no interest in being one, so why are people talking about this? So tired of seeing his face all over Lemmy/KBin

      Owning a significant component of public discourse and actively pushing ideological viewpoints using it is politics. The only difference between that and being a politician is that you can’t vote him out.

      When you own more than most people alive collectively, it makes sense that your actions are under extra scrutiny.

        This is more correct than I’d like to admit, fuck.

      When he wants to take away my voting rights because I dont’ have any kids, he’s talking politics. Have you never seen a person able to buy a Congressman who doesn’t like your existence???
