Bernie invents beef between billionaire and Pope, asks followers to pick a side
A senator fabricates a quote attributing a wild accusation to a tech billionaire, then frames it as a simple binary moral choice between wealth concentration and papal wisdom. The entire thing reeks of engagement-farming dressed up in populist clothing—complete fiction, maximum false dichotomy energy. Someone saw a real debate about AI and wealth inequality, decided it needed Pope Leo and Peter Thiel beef, and committed to the bit with the confidence of someone who knows their followers won't fact-check.
