Bill Gates Calls the Chinese 'Pirates' (But He's Simply Projecting Again)

Conceited criminals and con men love calling those whom they don't agree with or those whom they steal from "criminals" and/or "thieves" (projection tactics) and it's always about just one thing: money



Summary: The world's "most generous" person (according to publishers whom this "generous person" pays to write this) is saving the world from "pirates" (but not the ones in Somalia, just poor people in places like China)

THE global south is his "lab"

We know who takes the tab Clinical trials on the cheap He won't lose any sleep

To sue they're too impoverished Vaccinated but still malnourished GNU/Linux is for the poor Said the man in the sweater on his African tour

Windows is really charity Nobody needs legal clarify Here's your stick and a carrot When you use Windows we call you a "pirate!"

“No less than Bill Gates himself said in a recent Fortune article that Microsoft competes better against Linux in China when there's piracy than when there isn't.

“So, Microsoft actively looks the other way as people pirate its software. It builds its market share that way, and lets people get used to the idea of having Windows at a certain price.”
