Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn - you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think "oh, the lawnmower hates me" – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle.

It makes me uneasy to let a company that was literally named after a CIA program and given billions of dark money over the years selectively educate our next generation.
Plus, Ellison on surveillance tech: "Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,”
Don't worry. His son is also odds on favorite to own half of the US broadcast, film, and streaming media via Paramount, CBS and are in talks to purchase Warner Brothers, HBO, Discovery, and all their other cable brands. Oh wait, maybe we should worry about that a little.
I wonder if the license fee will be based on the number of followers. I hope it’s based on real engagement. I don’t want to pay just because a bunch of bots are following me. /s
It's rather amazing. They found one of the few organizations I trust less than the Chinese government to run this.
Ya, the only comparably worse choices would have been IBM or Salesforce. Also known as the toxic techs.
> They found one of the few organizations
Or, the Org found them! It helps to kiss the ring.
Compared to Larry Ellison, Kim Jong-un strikes me as a supreme humanist, a beacon of goodness and generosity.

Probably a better neighbor too.
Indeed. And since you are so nice to Kim he can get a job as remote IT worker.
Oh my. Forgot that nowadays people need to be explicitly warned about sarcasm or irony as they tend to interpret everything literally

I don't think the average braindead tiktok user who watches choreographies all day long knows / cares / can even spell Oracle.
I know what you will tell me: "but these people vote"... Hum, yes.

They clearly have a plan. Ellison gifted his son NBC or ABC or some large network recently, if I recall correctly.
Why do they need to control the media?
To push a pro-Israel agenda. That's why Larry Ellison put Israeli loyalist Bari Weiss in charge of CBS.

The delightful world of democracy and free enterprise!
You are free to choose among the things the options the cabal provides you. What are you complaining about?
Free to chose which pedophile you prefer.

It's sarcasm
We hope it's not predictive sarcasm.
Idiocracy was too
