Billionaire Palihapitiya says once he learned MSM was lying to him, he left the Dem party

Billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya explains that once he learned the mainstream media was lying to him, he left the Democrat Party
“You went from being a large Democrat donor to now a very outspoken proponent on the other side of the aisle”
Chamath Palihapitiya “Yeah — This is not about politics for me, it's about the truth. There was a moment where I was basically like everybody else, and pretty brainwashed.
My media diet was very much the same as everybody else's. I read the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. I watched a little bit of CNN, a little bit of CNBC, a little bit of MSNBC, a little bit of CBS Economist.
Every now and then you encounter it on a plane and you think you know what's going on, and I had a perception of Donald Trump initially, from the moment he walked down the staircase in Trump Tower to announce.
And then over the course of 6-7 years, I realized that some of those fundamental things that I was told about him were just totally false. And there was enough content online where I was almost afraid, but it started with Charlottesville.
I was almost afraid to look at it because I'm like, I think I was lied to. And then I saw it. I saw what he said, but then I saw the portrayal. I had originally believed that portrayal until I saw the truth.
And then I just started to go down that rabbit hole.
So for me, it was an evolution where I was like, I can't believe I'm being lied to by this group of people whose sole responsibility is to hold truth, to power. The key word there is truth to power, not your perception or your desires. And I just think that that, that, I mean, red-pilled me, I guess in a way”
Meanwhile Dems here:

But make no mistake, Chamath Palihapitiya is ethically and politically rudderless. Pathologically so. He is the type guy who, this time next year, could flip 180° and make Elizabeth Warren look conservative by comparison.
He is the type of sociopath who presents himself as relating intimately to the poor and wanting to help them because he was once a poor Sri Lankan kid. Then he says this:
quote:
Palihapitiya... was discussing why Joe Biden’s support for the Uyghurs had not helped the president’s poll ratings.
“Let’s be honest, nobody cares about what’s happening to the Uyghurs,” Palihapitiya said. “You bring it up because you really care, and I think that’s nice that you care. The rest of us don’t care.
“I’m telling you a very hard, ugly truth. Of all the things that I care about, it is below my line.”
He added that caring about human rights around the world is a “luxury belief”.
Then with no qualms at all, he can come out the very next day, saying:
quote:
“I recognize that I came across as lacking empathy. As a refugee, my family fled from a country [Sri Lanka] with its own set of human rights issues so this is something that is very much part of my lived experience. To be clear, my belief is that human rights matter, whether in China, the United States, or elsewhere.”

Chamath is reporting false information... patently false. -- Snopes
quote:
Claim - Charmath say's in the interview "from the moment Trump walked down the staircase in Trump Tower".
Snopes can prove there WAS NO STAIRCASE.
Rated: PANTS on Fire.
In addition, that escalator was built using non-sustainable materials using cheap, undocumented labor, possibly on 'stolen land' of the Latinx Chimichanga.-
- snopes probably

I think its interesting that he specifically called out Charlottesville.
I can’t help but feel like Scott Adams played a roll there. Even if indirectly.
He always harped on the Charlottesville lie as the thing that could convert smart people if you could get them to look at the facts hard enough to break their programming on their own.
I miss Scott.

Politics are all transactional now.
If a guy does something I like I’ll support it until he doesn’t at which time I’ll call that out.
None of them are to be fully trusted and none of them are out for anything but their own self interests.

Joe Biden initially said that the Charlottesville “both sides“ comment by Trump was why he decided to get into the 2020 race.
Even today, Joe Biden will claim that’s what urged him to run again. It is a blatant lie and yet he still repeats it.

Yet lots of folks hate this guy because he's not a piece of shite pussy European. They know nothing about him, just that he's Indian.

The lying is really bad.
The reason why is what needs to wake people up.

What?
Show your work.
Also, in addition to being very shady and possibly an exposed liar, he is married to a European.

You seem to know nothing about him.
Update: he's not Indian. He's Sri Lankan.

But this is the truth.
There is not some big campaign for them. Mainly because it's China. If this was happening in Israel or some "white" country. It would be a global thing like free Palestine.
