Except Lex Luthor is a genius and these guys are just good at convincing idiots that they’re geniuses.
Is that Amanda Waller?
I’ve been rewatching Smallville and for much of it Lex is exactly Elon Musk (the Nazi), like it’s uncanny for a show that came out over twenty years ago, but there’s one episode in season 7 where in an alternate reality Lex becomes President with the technological assistance of BRAINIAC (“He knows those Computers better than anybody”). Uncanny doesn’t even begin to cover it. You could lift most of the dialogue verbatim, swapping out only the names, and it would 1000% match up with our current reality. And it ends with nukes, so that’s cool.
History keeps repeating itself because we’re too stupid to learn from it.
I’m watching The West Wing now and I got to the part about Gaza and NOTHING has changed since the 1990s.
I watched Babylon 5 during the original COVID lockdown and the episode about pandemics called out science deniers and how they make pandemics worse 25 years in advance!
I believe we’ve moved from the “tragedy” iteration to the “farce”.
We had one with a bad back.
The adjustor
What do you mean “had”? His back probably hurts from carrying all of our hopes.
Who?
St. Luigi my friend.
Lex Luthor was brilliant.
No Batman but lots of Tek Knights.
Forget running for Mayor, Oswald Cobblepot is in the White House.
So 7 ? Ok let’s go :
- tim cook
- bill gates
- zuckerberg
- bernard arnault
- bezos
- musk
- brian thompson , oh no wait
There are way mooore than seven though ! ! Maybe I should have make an ordered list ? 🤔😅
How did Andreessen and Theil not make this list of your’s?
Bill Gates doesn’t belong on that list. He’s an entirely different league of vile, and he actively tries to change that image.
He’s no Mark Cuban, but he sure ain’t no Peter Thiel, who is glaringly missing from your list.
The guy that got kicked out of his company for sexual harassment, tried to rehabilitate Epstein in the eyes of high society, prevented a COVID vaccine patent from being made available to the entire world, and set the stage to tech-feudalism by illegally creating a monopoly, doesn’t belong where?
He’s even fellating Trump non stop nowadays.
Comparing Tim Cook to Lex Luthor is somehow an insult to both parties.
Fossil fuel execs, nestle ceo didn’t even make the cut. What kind of inverse golden age are we living in.
Turns out narrowing the list down to a mere seven isn’t so easy. There’s just so… many.
I don’t want to defend any of these narcissists, but every single fossil fuel, pharma, MIC owner/CEO of the 20th C is probably a hundred times more evil — more responsible for fascism and Trump — than any of these tech bros jumping in at the last mile. Those old guard oligarchs have been bribing politicians for decades.
Non owner CEO’s like Brian Thompson are more like an “uncle Tom” class traitor — a figurehead/footsoldier — than an oligarch, and are a dime a dozen. The primary controlling shareholder(s) and board of directors are the Hydra, pulling the strings in the background.
