So, my feelings about The Social Network are mixed in that I see the attraction to woobie fic, but I truly believe it's a movie about a sociopath and we don't really need to glorify that. (Which is to say, the portrayal of Mark in the movie is a sociopath, I have no feelings on who he actually is)

But I am actually truly annoyed that real life has gotten in the way of me liking the only character I liked in that movie. It is a dick, dick, dick move to renounce your American citizenship just to get out of paying millions in taxes that you'll owe the US.

I thought it's that he hasn't lived in the US for quite a while, and that the company's only going public now, or something? So he'd have to pay taxes on money's he's only getting just now to a country he hasn't lived in for a while, rather than, like, dodging back taxes or something. That was how I understood it, anyway, but I am probably HIDEOUSLY CONFUSED.
