Remember in the hunger games when Katniss unvolunteered and let Prim die because Snow was mean to her.

I realized just how dense this motherfucker is when he said his favourite book is the Player of Games which as an aside presents Fully Automated Luxury Gay Communism as the superior system (which Musk clearly bypassed or more likely never read). He just literally always identifies with the resistance movements without a hint of introspection or deeper thought because of his main character syndrome.
Musk does a better job at disputing the lie of capitalist "meritocracy" than most anti-capitalist critics ever could.
Agree here. I feel like Elon Musk and his ilk shouldn't be allowed to enjoy any of Iain Banks's works, since they are ideologically so opposed to everything he's demonstrated himself to be in favour of. But really I'm probably making excuses for myself -- I just don't like it when people I think are c***s enjoy things that I enjoy, whilst remaining c***s
Did you intend to write “c****s,” but the markup put your comment in italics/bold instead?
Formatting tip - if you put a backslash “ \ “ before the asterisk, it ignores the normal command to italicize/embolden. The markup commands on Lemmy are similar to those on Reddit (though not identical; Lemmy doesn’t break links as often as Reddit does.)
D'ya know, I did, and I was assuming the convention that asterisks wrapped in non-white space wouldn't mark-up, and only now that you mentioned it do I see how it rendered. Thanks! I'll edit
