Saw this earlier, what do you guys think of this?

“Your Jewish clown”, what the fuck?
Yeah he’s really unhinged.
This dude’s always been a weird piece of shit so somehow this isn’t even that surprising
He’s speaking about a previous Prime Minister of NZ. Who’s actually secular, but has some Jewish heritage through a grandmother, but was raised Anglican, but really non religious.
Antisemites don’t actually care about his religion. It’s racism. Jewish heritage means Jew, which to them means evil. No Jewish heritage but in their way means secret Jew, which to them means secretly evil.
This guy was arrested inside his own safe with a gun. He is a lunatic. He is also obviously trying to cash out somehow, even though since 2015 he himself claims to have no ties with Mega anymore and that it has been compromised.
Either way, Mega hasn’t been good for piracy for ages, nor is it trust worthy for private data sharing.
In the linked post he writes
Full Disclosure: I’m no longer involved with Mega but it operates lawfully like Megaupload did. The fact that Mega is still online after I founded it 13 years ago shows that the case against Megaupload was political, a total Hollywood overreach and the New Zealand Govt should be ashamed for still wanting to extradite me.
Kim dotcom is how I imagine John McAfee if he became a billionaire.
Have you not heard of John McAfee’s story?
A family friend of ours knew the guy. He was even more batshit insane than the stories make him seem.
That I believe
I briefly met him at Defcon years ago and got an immediate off putting vibe to say the least. Then I saw him get up and tell his unhinged life story which then lead to a pitch for some crypto bullshit. I wish I had saved the 60 or so seconds I spent talking to him.
Something about eating his own dick?
I see him more like the Larry Flynt of file sharing. He’s a piece of shit, but he’s also fighting for the right side.
This is so cringe, lol
Kim has always been like the biggest late 90s Edgelord.
Careful, mentioning 90s and edge at the same time might revive Edge Games, who bullied everyone like they owned the word Edge
edging it rn
Oh the right side though. For now. By accident, i assume.
But on the right side.
Yeah, he literally changed his last name to “dotcom.”
This man legally changed his surname to “Dotcom” I expect nothing less
He’s crazy, and therefore doing more harm than good in advocating for piracy.
His origin story is selling out his costumer base to a law offices and kicking of the mass persecution of small time pirates in Germany.
Please don’t promote that guy.
When a person’s words makes then look like an ass, I’m not sure that giving them more exposure is “promoting” them.
Any publicity is good publicity.
You may think it makes him look like an ass, but to an ass he looks like their kind of guy.
Case in point: Donald Ass Trump
I really hate to accept that exposing assy words and behavior just makes it worst, but it’s hard to argue with that example.
The way the internet enables awful outliers to find each other and organize really makes one question whether it was ever a good idea.
Dotcom is now effectively Musk’s hanger-on of a somewhat insane type. He posts a lot of megalomaniac and incoherent right-wing stuff (and I mean incoherent even by right-wing standards), as seen here. He hasn’t had anything to do with MEGA for many years, he’s been in a sort of exile in New Zealand, and frankly he seems as if he’s isolated and mentally deteriorating.
Down in the deep south near Glenorchy. Isolated even for a New Zealander. Find Queenstown on a map and then follow the shore of the lake Queenstown is on to the west, tada Glenorchy. He lives there
I guess to operate a open internet, we have to allow even the nutcases internet.
What is this post even? If he’s looking for an out he’s doing a shit job.
Safe to say he’s definitely insane.
He comes across like a reddit power mod.
calls someone a Jewish clown
Reddit would ban him for that.
I fucking hate how many psycho types got into computing
Since it’s a Redditor and Redditor information is by default, to be taken with many levels of skepticism. I’m under the impression that this ‘criticism’ are probably in the form of people telling said Redditor that they’re a bullshitter.
I’ve done a quick search to find an image of this copy and I’m not surprised that I have not found it word for word. The only thing close that I’ve found was a letter he actually did write to Hollywood, back in 2012
So it’s likely that this Redditor, probably hashed up a made-up tweet image because it’s a common way to stir up bullshit, like any lowlife Redditor would want to do when they’re bored.
Oh and I ran a Google image search on this image and what came up? The Reddit post itself, go figure.
I stand corrected as someone actually pointed to the source.

Welp, there you go. But, I never touch that shitty X platform and I don’t dare register an account there ever again to really care looking. Too much drama and cringe on that platform that has a sad stranglehold on many people’s lives.
Bragging about how much of your service’s traffic is used for Piracy doesn’t sound like a smart tactic.
Also,
and I show you how to make billions with piracy
The fuck? Wanna bet it’s some hare-brained NFT scheme?
It’s probably something like “deliver a good product or service at a good price and everyone will buy it instead of pirate it”
Hollywood like any other industry is just overwhelmingly greedy. Instead of getting a buck or two from everyone they want to get a hundred bucks from a portion of them…. While screwing basically everyone working on the project and funneling the proceeds into the hands of an extreme minority.
The rent seeking from subscriptions that has all but swallowed whole all media is disgusting. Physical media will be gone soon and we will be left with shitty bitrate renting.
It’s not even good for piracy because of the shitty bandwidth limits for users that pop up halfway through downloading something and make you wait until tomorrow or pay.
I know right???
Crazy people love to sprinkle in anti semitism in their rants.
I was wondering what that part was all about…
Very interesting that he points out that a guy is Jewish, does not give good vibes. Ofc most of the things he’s done don’t give me good vibes either.
Anyway, I can’t remember the last time I’ve used Mega, for anything. None of the cool sites use them, afaik. There’s like a million better sites now, and the best stuff is in Russia, since they barely touch piracy sites. it’s so often in a piracy sites lifecycle for them to start on a normal tld, get banned, move to a weird tld, get banned, then move to a cool foreign countries tld.
Definitely seems like an antisemitic jab, and yeah he way overestimates how much pirates use and care about Mega in this day and age.
Not surprising from a guy who bought a signed copy of Mein Kampf.
