You sound like an idiot.

I'd say it's more butterfly effect than Rube Goldberg. A Rube Goldberg would be engineered with the intent and goal of shooting and killing you. Anyone who has made one can attest to the time and effort and focus needed to get it to accomplish its goal (which in this case is killing you).

Gates' actions are not intended to kill you. Just to make himself rich. You are just collateral damage.

I mean it's still about as moral as burning down the Amazon rainforest to make some money, but Bill Gates isn't setting out with the goal to murder you specifically. Unless you slept with his wife or something.

So you go into a conversation about a modern topic where the modern definition of terms is a particular thing, and then you said "well ackshually the definition of this in 1780 was this so you're wrong".

I don't think anyone cares what the definition of left and right are in 1780s France and it has no bearing on a modern discussion of these terms.

I also don't get why it matters. Who cares where it originated? What is the point of any country wasting time with the blame game. Unless it was an engineered virus (it wasn't) it's a force of nature that could have started anywhere.

How does making a false statement help?
