Naturally the apes think this is bullish for some reason (never mind that if the apes had been right this whole time the name probably would have been Teddy). none of these dudes had wives

I'd not say it's a sweeping generalization if it fits 90-99% of modern American conservatives, crypto people, and about 800 easily defined social groups in America that could easily total a double digit percentage of the population. That's just a reasonable statement.

Mozi posted:it's crazy to me to imagine getting a bunch of money and then buying a lambo It's just because it's the fanciest car they can imagine owning. Just the most ostentatious, obscene display of wealth they can imagine. Which fits into how ,despite the way that they rail against wallstreet and hedge brokers etc., none of this is about economic justice or any kind of correction of the obvious injustices and disparities in our economic system. They just want to get catapulted to the top of the pyramid. It's the exact same mentality as fairy tales about lost princesses who have to live as peasants. The point of Cinderella isn't that the plight of the peasantry loving sucks and something should be done about it, it's that if you're lucky enough and hot enough some prince will swoop down out of the sky to make you his queen and elevate you above all the other people in your position. Lambos are just their way of physically representing "gently caress you, got mine." edit: gently caress, look at how in all their apocalyptic prophesying about taking over the economy it's never ". . . and then we restructure it to be a more just and equitable society" it's ". . . and then we're the people on top and drive lambos and eat caviar and gently caress supermodels because now we're the ones at the pinnacle of an exploitative, unstable, unsustainable system where millions toil so that an elect few can live lives of unparalleled luxury."

Now that I think of it, these people are probably closely akin to the type of people whose lives end up ruined after winning the lottery. They get more money than they know what to do with, make a series of terrible decisions, and end up just imploding one way or another. Luckily for the crypto/memestock people that's one eventuality they will never have to face.

I never looked too closely and just thought it was a bunch of people buying the exact wrong stocks and trying to do stock market magic so number go higher and they can make money. And then I assumed it had morphed into the Bitcoin or NFT thing where having actual money is secondary to having something that is theoretically worth a lot of money so you can brag about it and pretend you’re a super smart money person. I never knew about “we will own literal infinite money.”

They do play lip service to helping people or fixing things, though to your point it is never really thought out or specific actionable plans beyond simple solutions like sharing their ungodly wealth somehow. The only way to stop a bad guy billionaire is with a good guy billionaire.

But also because of the horrendous abuse they tolerated by getting mocked on web forums they'll get to have a little rain of terror where they crush those who ever spoke out against them, as a treat. But right after the revenge wars they'll get right on that whole helping humanity thing, promise.

Not sure what they’re talking about with the round face. I guess Paul Dano kinda has a round face, and he played DFV in the film (I haven't seen it). What I'm getting from that post is that they think Dan's video is actually some kind of viral promotion for Dumb Money, because they can't do actual promos because of the strike. If that's true then congrats to Dan, for the Hollywood elite money, I guess.

Shanghaied posted:I guess Paul Dano kinda has a round face, and he played DFV in the film (I haven't seen it). "Round face" is a reference to Dan, and he's specifically complaining about the intro bits he does with the fake interviews like he's a stonk bro. About a third of the way through in the video he (in character) says he wears the headband in homage to DFV and how everything he does is to try and be like him. Which, obviously, they didn't watch that far in. Which means that they thought Dan's parody of an ape's cringey DFV obsession was an a serious depiction of DFV himself which is, in its own beautiful way, and entire new layer of LMAO on this poo poo.
