As a leftist, I’ve never once considered Bill Gates or Anthropic to be even remotely left-wing. I’m not sure how it would be possible to frame them like that.

- honeycrispy 5mo agoThe polarizing vaccine mandate is one such example of alignment.
- nathan_compton 5mo agoI don't know of a single leftist who would call Gates a leftist. Liberal, perhaps, in the economic and social sense, but not a leftist in any way shape or form. I don't know why its so hard for people to distinguish between these two very different groups.
- cout 5mo agoBlame Rush Limbaugh and others for conflating them in the 90s. I don't know if people generally know the difference before that, but personally it's only been recently that I've been exposed to sources that distinguish between left and liberal.
