This Bill Gates conspiracy theory got entirely the response it deserved

There’s a subReddit called ‘murdered by words’ which is presumably entirely explanatory. And this response to a conspiracy theory about Bill Gates is a prime example of the satisfying takedown.

‘If I was Bill Gates I’d just tell the world to go get bent, I’m done with all this garbage,’ said beerbellybegone who shared it on Reddit.

And there’s a whole load more about exactly what Bill Gates meant – and how his words have been twisted – on fact checking site, Snopes.

Some people, however, just refuse to be convinced.

‘Explained this to a moron a while back and their reply was: ‘tomato, tomato.’ That’s it, when explaining what they got so drastically wrong by gaining their information from memes, that’s the only comeback they had. This pandemic has revealed that a large swathe of the global population are educationally subnormal morons who somehow have managed to function this far in life.’ morebucks23
