      With how some of those Muskrats are, I’m honestly not sure about that.

        As beautifully as the name fits, I feel bad for the actual muskrats of our creeks and marshes.

    I don’t know if it was always like this, like pre internet, but I remember when I first started hearing people concerning themselves with the profitability of corporations online.

    It was somewhere around the start of the eternal September (I was one of the unwashed tech illiterate masses), and I witnessed people having the most furious debates about video game company / console profitability, and it just never ended.

    I wonder if it was just my first encounter to seeing so many Americans in one (virtual) place, or if it was the latent tribalism of the internet, or just nerds having fun crunching their nerd numbers. But I still see way too much of it.

    It has got better in some of the chiller places on the internet, though. Which are about the only places I frequent.

    Curious to hear other people’s perspectives on this kind of parasocial relationship with corps / brands.

      I think it was a different flavor.

      You’d have your fave department store, mall, multiplex, fast food joint, TV channel etc

    this is yet another example of a second generation billionaire thinking that all the ideas that his brain produces must be phenomenal.

    Everytime I see a cybertruck, It makes me think of the “Fighting Polygon Team” from Super Smash Brothers N64. Each polygon character is a essentially a weaker knockoff of an actual character from the game. I haven’t played that game in years but I seem to remember it was my least favorite level from single player mode.

      All of these people from Muskrats to Trumpers are all looking for simple answers and solutions to how fucked up our world is from whoever will give it to them.

      They want to be in a cult ever if they don’t realize it because then they have an authority to make all the decisions for them

        Daddy issues. All of them. Hell, Trump and Musk both have had terrible fathers. Much more then the regular “elite” shitheel.

          Sins of the father is a powerful literary theme for a reason, daddy issues have cause a significant amount of damage to the world
