      He’s declared war on “the woke mind virus” because his daughter is trans.

        He declared this during a conversation. This was a discussion between the richest man in the world and the (allegedly) most popular intellectual alive. “Woke mind virus”.

          He doesn’t give a single shit about his children as people. He does very much care that his captive collection of shared genes look and act heteronormatively in public

            which is ironic because his ragingly transphobic dummy spit is the only reason I know anything about a single one of his children and it’s her.

            The impression i’m getting is despite the genetic handicap she’s a wonderfully reasonable person.

        If I made a million a month, then even without taxes, cost of living or any luxuries, I’d have to work 83 years and change to become a billionaire.

        There is no way anyone can work hard enough to justify accruing even one billion in a lifetime, let alone several.

    So, I’m obligated to be that guy.

    A big part of the Hunger Games plot was Katniss wooing rich donors into backing her underdog campaigns, first as a contestant and then as a true revolutionary.

    Mon Mothma was a mega-wealthy Corriscant socialite who built an underground financial network capable of financing the rebellion.

    And those are just the fictional reflections of real historical revolutionary struggles. Class Traitors are a pivotal part of any anti-capitalist narrative and for good reason. A rebellion marches on its stomach.

    Musk is still a coked-up ego-maniacal dipshit. But the idea that you just need a bumper crop of angry poor people to revolutionize a society has an extensive list of empirical refutations.

    • @lunarul

      Musk is not that guy, but yeah, all resistance stories have rich people on the other side secretly financing them and providing access to things.

                  The correct comment (which you disagreed with) was “all resistance stories have rich people on the other side secretly financing them and providing access to things.”

      Not really related but I kinda thought the nickname Jennifer Lawrence had was kinda hilarious. She said something like she’d be too tired to shower and clean up sometimes during the filming that they eventually joked around calling her Katpiss Neverclean.

      I can’t remember if she was upset about that or not it was so long ago. I hope it wasn’t too mean spirited.

    It’s hilarious that Republicans/Conservatives see themselves as the resistance. Like when did helping people and trying to provide better lives for the needy and taxing the rich and corporations become “radical”? I’m thinking they don’t actually know what a lot of these words mean. We already know they have no understanding what “woke” means, unless they do and they just don’t care, which could also be true.

        I’ve argued with people that claimed Carlin was “antivax.” Their reasoning? He joked about licking doorknobs, so his immune system is up to snuff. That translated to antivax in their pointy ol’ heads.

    You watched Star Wars and sided with the resistance

    Sided with the group against the politician who manufactured threats to rile up their base enough to vote him limitless power in government that he used to make himself forever emperor and turning the democratic Republic into a xenophobic, fascist authoritarian society which draws loose parallels with nazism? So much to the point that when declaring himself the emperor, Padme outright says “So this is how democracy ends…”

    You’re goddamn right I sided with the resistance in that regard

    Au contraire, mon frere, in most of these movies the VILLAN was the one with power and unlimited resources. Just. Like. Elon.

    And Elon - you have cited movies designed to manipulate the audience into siding with the rebels, not the oligarchs. Y’all want a better metaphor from pop culture? Try The Sopranos, Dexter, or the SAMCRO bunch - they’re truly amoral shitbags designed to appeal to the downtrodden masses. So go murder Big Pussy, wrap his corpse in a carpet, and dump him in the bay. That’s how you get people to cheer for you.

    With apologies to all the Big Pussies out there who are about to get whacked by Elon’s populist quest. (Cause he reads this thread.)
