A Festivus Miracle posted:Elon burning down twitter as a gently caress you to...I honestly don't know who is not a plan, it's a 44 billion dollar temper tantrum. The Woke Mind Virus is his Death Star and one of his dank memes is going to destroy it once and for all while he basks in the adulation of the redpill Alliance. It's a gently caress you to the Empronouner and evil Darth He/Her oppressing society man.

But im not a smart businesser so maybe this is all actually good for Tesla.

Funky See Funky Do posted:It seems like the plan is to take over a major social media company and use it to spread far-right ideology in America in time for the 2024 elections. That's the pivot. It's a tired meme, but perhaps there's rarely been a better use, I think the "plan" was: 1) buy twitter 2) ???? 3) profit "buy twitter" is, I would say objectively, a less insane sounding path to 3 than "collect underpants", but you still need a whole lot of something to jam into that ???? given that the company overall had long struggled to make much money despite its huge reach. I would not have guessed that apartheid clyde was as cracked out and dumb as those Azealia Banks posts made him out to be, but, I think it tracks. It would have been a plan to do this if there had been a plan to pivot right without losing shittons of money in the process, or if some shadow PAC had provided the money to do it. By all appearances none of that happened, it's just a rich dickhead stumbling over his hubris so hard he shows the whole world that his head was empty all along.

His idiotic defense of BOOOURNS especially made him look sad. It might work on some other middle age people and crypto bros? Honestly it's not working on anyone that wasn't already right wing, and honestly the failure that is "The Twitter Files" seemed to mostly discourage the right and make normal people realize this guy is a loving idiot.

Space is cool as gently caress and figuring out how to live in it is cool as gently caress and so what if I want humanity to make it all the way to the end of time then figure out where to go past that. But this fucker is making both space and environmental stuff uncool from both angles.

I still think the plan for all these dweebs was an expected fascist takeover of the USA and having themselves all pardoned / having no laws or agencies to stop them from doing what they're doing. It's batshit crazy as hell, but it's also Occam's Razor at this point. They were expecting this to happen in 2020. Then somehow they though a midterm red wave would put them in a position for it. Now they're banking on 2024. They are ignoring laws because they don't expect them to apply to them soon. And considering they're rich and they live in the dumbest country in the world, they'll have like a decade to figure it all out before the American justice system even begins to peek it's head out of it's cavernous and useless rear end. It's funny how every day for the last months rich people have done some such thing that would put literally any other human being in America in prison or on the streets, yet it's just fine and dandy for rich people to gently caress you, your wife, your kids, steal your job, gently caress you some more, ignore loving everything, poo poo post on the internet, gently caress you, gently caress all their employees, reinstate a Nazi cabal, drink the blood of children, commit multiple genocides, torture animals, have more circle-jerk parties with literal Nazis, plan future insurrections in the very wide open in front of everyone, etc. And despite years and years, and more years, of all of this, here are all the consequences that have happened to the rich and powerful people: Jelly fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Dec 14, 2022 |

I think it's fascinating that so called "Futurists" and "Randians" like Musk have latched on to regressive thought because it's a functionally loving dead ideology. Oh sure it's having a resurgence, but Fascism is a has-been of a philosophy that almost everyone knows already loving sucks. Like there are no NEW ideas in modern day Conservatism at all: nothing No concepts, no philosophy. No art. No technology. Nothing new is created by conservatives: just the same loving buzzwords and taglines over and over again to sell Reaganism/ racism to Lead Brain olds with a new coat of paint. On the other side of the age gap they try to appeal to younger people by running "Now that's what I call Mein Kampf" over and over again with an an increasingly unhinged stable of wierdos, like a bad late night infomercial before the show you want to watch. It's so obvious to everyone but them they are a complete joke and have zero appeal out of people that already self-selected for it, but hey you do you guys.

TulliusCicero posted:To who though? It's less that it's creating converts, and more that it's using the existing infrastructure and footprint to promote a lot of insane poo poo, and one thing that gets extremism relative to the established norm accepted is the appearance of normalization. It's why every other internet thread about race, gender, or sexuality you'll invariably find some rear end in a top hat saying "as a black man/as a woman/as a trans person I think that both sides need to be listened to and we are not a monolith." The illusion of consensus is extremely important for getting people to go along with right-wing bullshit, because a sense of cohesion is genuinely more important to most average people anywhere on the political spectrum than actual positions are (as long as it's not "me"), and Twitter still has embeds and button links and is getting used and will continue to get used for that until/unless Elon sells it and new owners dial it back. It's cute now, but we're getting very close to the 2024 election cycle and that's when you'll start to see it getting really bad.

new ideas can't really emerge in conservatism since the whole core of the ideology is about adherence to tradition. the last big "new idea" in conservative circles involved bringing back the roman empire and using medieval-style blood libels to fuel moral panic driven nationalism, and it's a "new idea" that happens again and again.

When I was a wee lad, my mum wrote a letter to school so I could go home early to see the first shuttle launch live on TV. I've loved space for as long as I can remember. Untill this fucker came along. Bezos and the rest don't help of course, but musk puts his "saving humanity, and Mars within 5 years" stink all over it. Ruined it. Unforgivable. I've posted pretty much the same thing before, but the last time he'd also managed to ruin eating rear end somehow. I really wish I could remember how. Might have to dig through my posts. Yeah, he is very poo poo and I don't like him.

I had missionary sex once a decade for procreation only, as good Americans should. now I'm a smoking hot redhead named Sasha, with a passion for saving the whales and moving my rear end on the dance floor.

Paired with reality creation beliefs, Musk is simply trying to game the system for us NPCs since he is the Main Character. The closest one can get to acting on a "simulation" here is being a billionaire, and I have no idea what his end goal is here anymore. Either way, we're all just a bunch of useless NPCs to him. honestly this. he is mad that the world "updated" and "expanded" in ways he didnt like and because he has enough Good boy points or whatever, he thinks he can just buy people into making him into being big loved RPG hero. real life isnt a bioware/Bethesda game, its disco Elysium and a bit of cyberpunk. its about living and doing the good you can do with the power you have.
