Yeah he's really unhinged.
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?
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.

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.
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

He's crazy, and therefore doing more harm than good in advocating for piracy.
He comes across like a reddit power mod.
calls someone a Jewish clown
Reddit would ban him for that.
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.
I fucking hate how many psycho types got into computing
Crazy people love to sprinkle in anti semitism in their rants.
I was wondering what that part was all about…
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.

This has a Freddy vs Jason kinda vibe. Asshole fighting assholes, sorta thing. Love it.
Kim Schmitz has always been a grifter and an asshole. I wish him all the worst.
posted on the nazi site, too 🫣
"your Jewish clown" kinds says it all
Wow, what a loser
What's his next stop in Va about? Is he extraditing himself?
Back when I was in Jordan, I visited a music store. They had a big screen on the wall with Windows Explorer open with a huge catalog of .mp3s. You could choose anything and they would burn the CD for you. Everything was clean and tidy as you would expect for a shop in a central location. Made me aware of how much legislators work to protect the rights of those few companies that own the rights.
i don't know anything about this guy other than some big headlines a while ago about how some chode legally changed his name to "dotcom," which is...unbelievably fucking stupid. i get the feeling he was trying to be intimidating in this tweet on fucking twitter, but he's not. i don't really see this douchenozzle "humiliating" anyone. except maybe himself
Giving off real "you can't fire me, I quit" vibes lol
is this guy still related to mega.co.nz?
I remember him posting some crazy rants on twitter after the company managed to get rid of him. So I guess not.
If this is on Twitter, then it makes sense. That platform is a cesspool
