Ted Turner is probably a bastard right?

He came up in a previous thread as one of those debatable cases. I figure, the guy was a billionaire and that usually automatically makes you a bastard, but he seems to have done some, if not good, certainly entertaining shit in his life. What are people's thoughts on him?

Does anyone ever face consequences?

Its hard to consider justice will come for the monsters in government right now when

>1. They were in power from 2017-2021 doing >2. Out of power from 2021-2025 and faced zero consequences >3. Now back in power and hurting people again, arguably at a greater scale

Does anyone ever face justice? Rumsfeld and Cheney got to die at an old ages. Bush is sharing mints with Michelle Obama. Joe McCarthy got to keep being a senator. Is there ever a road to holding these bastards accountable when you get into the annals of power? Or is this whole Behind the Bastards project just cold comfort? We all agree these peoples were the worst in our small corner of the internet but beyond that, nobody really cares?

Legally how can the UFC fight be pay per view?

Yes I know, because they are stealing and wildly corrupt. But, its being paid for with money from the American Taxpayer right? Like public parks, monuments, the Smithsonian. They all are free and open to the public because its tax payer money that funds them. The UFC fight by all rights, as dumb as it is, it should be free and publicly broadcast. if you buy the pay per view could you have legal standing to sue that it should have been for free?

Nearly Got Grifted by a Youtube Bastard

So youtube's algorithm served me up this interesting video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc3ffK46uhU) if you want the full experience of what I got watch it first and fell how I felt when the rug got pulled out from me.

The video about Baba Yaga and its was really interesting at first, the person is a genuinely good storyteller. Anyway, half way through she suddenly brings up that she's a "therapist" (more on that later) and this is all for you to buy her "therapy" app betwixt or whatever and it starts getting all Jordan B. Petersony but with less tangents. Jungian Archetypes clean your room, buy my thing. And I just felt gross. Like I got pulled in by some obscene phone caller. Or just a visceral confirmation of what I already know to be intellectually true. Everyone is susceptible to a grift or culty thing, myself included.

So I look up this lady, Hazel Gale, and she is a former kickboxer who became a HYPNOtherapist. That didn't work out I guess so she decided to make an app that gameifies therapy and start making content.

TldR; Watch out for weird grifty pseudoacademic crap on youtube
