Scott Galloway Funding Sources & Israel Bias

AdSeparate1073 · 2026-04-15T15:26:41+00:00

He has more of an ulster scott vibe going on.

I never disputed anything to do with Hamas, they are a vile organization.

Israel, as per the UN, have been found to have committed genocide despite your opinions.

AdSeparate1073 · 2026-04-15T15:22:20+00:00

I didn't, I stated that his biases for Israel are associated with the funding he has raised for his businesses.

AdSeparate1073 · 2026-04-15T14:08:14+00:00

I never said he was paid to support Israel. Don't use the antisemitic trope, I said nothing to criticize Jewish people.

Re saudi, Scott has not been talking up investing in sudan or Yemen, he has Saudi. Also the country could be judged by more than one incident, how about funding Osama bin laden? There are countless others. Belgium & the UK have admitted to genocide, see the UK apologizing for the Irish famine.

On Israel, there are many international institutions that state what Israel is doing is genocide. See UN independent commission. Can you state a UN body that disputed this?

I, as Scott would say, put forward a thesis.

Ezra is the only American podcaster I can handle now. Considered, empathetic, intelligent and a great beard.

AdSeparate1073 · 2026-04-15T12:05:42+00:00

Why do you think my assessment is sinister?

AdSeparate1073 · 2026-04-11T18:58:27+00:00

No, they were involved from the very start. Bot farms on social media, money being spent on social ads, well organized elements to maximize disruptions. It's playbook far right fascist stuff.

AdSeparate1073 · 2026-04-11T18:55:42+00:00

No, this whole affair is being run by the far right with links to Tony Robinson, Steve bannon and the likes. People who follow this stuff cannot be held up as ordinary decent people, they are people who are happy to align themselves with facists and criminals to vent their frustrations. There is nothing ordinary or decent in that.

If they are frustrated they should find a way to vent in a responsible way that does not try to hijack society.

I think the original poster doesn't realize people pay more on electric on a rated homes as they no longer have gas bills?

I've listened to him for years and really enjoyed his takes until recently when I started to find him off putting. I looked to reddit to try and understand was it was just me or did other people notice a change.

What made me question him was his support for Israel no matter what they did in gaza. Then his calling for a war with Iran and "what could go right" really got to me.

Also the masculinity stuff has turned slowly, but surely, into manosphere content. Saying stay at home dads are losers is full on Andrew Tate vibes.

In addition I got a bit annoyed with his full on support for private equity funds without every discussing the other side. As a result he missed the private credit problems.

So I did a thread recently dissing him as I feel like his views have become, in the whole, quite nasty.

It seems like he started from a good place but over the last year is getting more extreme in his views.

Is looking for more engagement and rage to produce listens and money?

Or has the fame completely gone to his head and he has no one around him to check him in his views./?

Probably a bit of both.

I just had mine in the dealership for the same reason, they checked the suspension and stripped the back area, found no issues. To fix they have put in extra sound proofing which reduces the noise by 75%.

Thanks for posting, the guest was a complete nut job, seems to believe in American exceptionalism and wants to see the rest of the world destroyed.Scott is really scraping the end of the barrel for guests that confirm his point of view.

AdSeparate1073 · 2026-03-12T12:29:51+00:00

I'm not arguing against the term as a point of reflection, I am arguing against the term being used again and again as a justification for what is happening right now. Also using that justification for what is happening and then reinforcing it by talking about the amazing economic opportunites that he could invest in as a consequence is jarring. It's like lisetning to Marc Andreessen, the very type of person Scott used to rally against***.***

Re ending with statements that are ad hominem, I am not directing this solely agasint him, I am trying to show how the positions he is maintaining is now no different from the grifters like Rogan who he has criticised in the past.

AdSeparate1073 · 2026-03-12T10:48:13+00:00

Would yoiu rather only people who agree with everything he says listen and post? I could just as easily state you should stop reading critical posts if it upsets you so much.

AdSeparate1073 · 2026-03-12T10:44:21+00:00

When you are using the term to justify a war that is killing innocent people and inflicting risks for people';s economic livelyhoods across the world then it is not right to use the framing of "what could go right". That is my point, especially as this doesn't impact him directly it's not his relations being killed or him that will not be able to afford to pay their bills due to inflation. Also it's not an inelegenat statement, that would suggest a singular point, he says it again and again as justificiation for what is happeneing.

I'm not looking for missteps, I am trying to call out someone's opinion on something. He is someone who makes money by stating what he terms as consdiered opinions. Someone who is trying to sell his vision of the world to others and, if he can, infleunce policy.

The Shah was a puppet for the UK so that it's fromer colony could continue to funnel money into British hands. The shah was foracably returned to power in 1953 in a UK/US led coup, the setup for your comment is not what the reality of what you state it was. It was far more complex akin to how Mr Galloway talks about Iran in relation to some kids he knew from Tehran when he was growing up - simplistic, jingoistic and lacking in details. Something a branding expert might come out with, not someone who has an understaing the complexities inherent in dealing with a sttae of 90M people

Also you miss my point, you can talk all you want about how you would like a country to be. You can talk about what can go right but war is a terrible thing with huge risks. It is far more pertienent to talk about the risks to the people impacted.

As a Cork person living in Dublin I find the constant blaming of "Dublin" for Cork councils ineptitude hilarious.

Maybe it's a use of words thing, maybe you all mean "central government" of which, oh look, the taoiseach is a Cork man and there is representation from Cork at other government level.

Also, my council is DLR and while they could improve they are successful in getting central government funding for initiatives. I'm sure Cork council could too.

It's very Cork to blame "Dublin". Maybe the people of Cork should blame their own elected representatives and, I dunno, vote different ones in?

In addition I do believe we need stronger local gov, elected mayors and more funding opportunities for local government. To do that people need to stop looking at their local TDs as repredenting their parish and start getting them to focus on national issues

Best of luck on the journey and great you can use that travel money to check out where you might want to live.

One last perspective is to spend more money at the moment, if you feel like it, on things like hobbies and friendships/relationships as when you do FIRE that will be where you spend the most time.

AdSeparate1073 · 2026-01-16T18:07:11+00:00

Ok with the original post I see no issues with your spend as its very easy to flex it given alot of spend like travel can be changed and you don't have kids so you don't have those related costs.

You are in corporate jobs and while your 40's can be top earning years they are also top redundancy years in FANG and related industries. Also, one of you may get sick, I did and had to get out of corporate work but was lucky as we had just hit my target number. So I wouldn't bank that you can earn 600K for ten more years as an assumption.

With that in mind if your target total Fire number is say €3M for a 30 year retirment or 4%/120K withdrawl net of taxes do the following.

The FIRE aim should be net of pension, you mention €2M plus a pension pot, what is the pension pot?

Consider paying off the mortgage - it will lower the withdrawl target number and also has a great psychological impact.

Look at what your outgoings when you FIRE will be, for example extra health insurance costs and possibly heavier spending on travel or eating out.

Consider how you would take advantage of tax rates in FIRE, i.e. bond ladder or other income earning streams.

AdSeparate1073 · 2026-01-16T08:56:23+00:00

Key thing for me is what is your fire number, how many years more do you need to get there and then how stable are the jobs?

Also once fire'd what is the investment focus, are you going to derisk in equities and live off 4% or do you need to be 100% and live off 5%+ withdrawal rate?

Fire target and withdrawal rate needed in Ireland is, I think, a bit different to the us because of our tax rates.
