Bill Gates says political polarization 'may bring it all to an end' and could even lead to a civil war

Bill Gates usually focuses on issues like poverty and infectious diseases through his charitable foundation, but another problem on his mind is the polarization of US politics.

"I admit that political polarization may bring it all to an end, we're going to have a hung election and a civil war," he recently said in the keynote conversation at this year's Forbes 400 Summit on Philanthropy. "I have no expertise in that. I'm not going to divert my money to that because I wouldn't know how to spend it."

Political polarization, he says, goes hand-in-hand with another issue: the spread of misinformation.

"The polarization and lack of trust is a problem," he continued to Forbes. "One of the best-selling books last year was a book by Robert Kennedy, saying that I like to make money and kill millions of people with vaccines. It's wild that sells well."

Bonsoir Mr Bill Gates. Vous voulez dire politisation ?

I wonder if all this political polarization might have something to do with the fact that our society is reaching laughable new heights of systemic corruption, and us lowly commoners can clearly see it for ourselves. Imagine, for a moment, that many of the richest people in the world are allowed to commit sex crimes with total impunity. While average people are gunned down in the streets and pursued for pretty crimes or simple tax mistakes, or otherwise just can't get ahead in life in any way while our economic and political system is slowly crumbling. And yet, billionaires were networking with human traffickers like Jeffery Epstein to go have sex with underage prostitutes, and there is an overwhelming amount of evidence that could have been used to prosecute any of these people. Instead of that happening, the ringleader was assassinated in prison and not a single one of his clients has ever been brought to justice.

Hmmmmmmm
