Authoritarianism is a loser ideology.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 4 months ago (1 children)

"As an authoritarian, I like having to not think about things. Hierarchy is natural and the only way everything works. This makes it easy to know what's best. Details are for the lower class of person, the number nerds who work for the rest of us. My favorite part of authoritarianism is knowing that only the strongest survive and following the strongest so I will survive too. It makes knowing how things work so easy!"

This might be the most "sub" vibe I've ever read.

Have you seen photos of Trump/MAGA themed weddings? Absolutely cuck behaviour.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

No and to be totally honest I don't think I even want that in my search history 🤢

Also interesting that everyone I've ever met that is a fan of Andrew Tate wears wife beaters because they dress for the job they want. Also they seem like they either have meth or know where to get it.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I'm not a fan of Andrew Tate, but we really got to lay off the hate on wife beaters. Tank tops are real comfy yall.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 months ago

They're disgusting and immoral. Cover your man boobs you high body count / low worth slut. -Andrew Tate probably

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Men's tank tops never feel loose enough to me. I like tank tops women wear with spaghetti straps, but I don't think I'd like my look if I wore them.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Let us judge that look🥵

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I'm way too hairy to pull it off.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You got to show off that wookiee bruh

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I'm not hairy enough to pull that off. I'm like maybe 2/3 of the way between Ryan Gosling and Robin Williams on the Robin Williams side.

Maybe I need to apply Rogaine to my body and see what happens.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Only one way to know for sure!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

I demand that any man that wants to use a tank top be forced by law to show mid riff, navel and all.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I think we'd be good friends

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Going to be honest my friend, it's been awhile and i've gained a bit of weight since I bought some of these tanks tops. I am way ahead of you on that one.

Mike Scollins (author of the screenshotted comment) is a well known defender of the wife beater.... https://youtu.be/O4fF1mYO5sE?si=sDBq4MGp7pP5oPXI

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Unintentional and ironic

[–] [email protected] 48 points 4 months ago

Concerning. Looking into it.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The arc of his popularity has been an interesting thing to watch. Many of the things he does seem childlike in nature, almost like a lot of maturity is just missing

[–] [email protected] 47 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Remember that Twilight Zone episode where everyone is constantly trying to please this omnipotent child?

That’s our billionaire class.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

God damnit... This makes way too much sense. I'm sad now... well sadder.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

I've actually met Elon Musk when I worked at Tesla so no, someone who likes him isn't the biggest loser I've ever met because I have met the actual biggest loser on the planet.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

Musk still counts as someone who likes Musk. Perhaps more than anyone else. So it still works.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well now you make me want to hear your story. Not everyone can have a personal experience with the world non-champion.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (3 children)

I have met Musk! This was in 2018 at a startup conference, pre-wtf Elon days.

He was actually really inspiring about his dream of space and humanity. But he was also weirdly edgelord. Then we all realize he was a walking talking meme and going around doing that backpack kid floss dance everywhere while people were trying to talk serious with him.

If you told me the guy was 25-30, i would believe you. But the dude is in his 50s, has a bunch of kids who don't speak to him.

What a fucking loser.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Of all the things he could be doing as a billionaire and he chooses to be an edgy memelord. It is pathetic. Also it is vile how he is assisting Nazis reach an audience for Naziism. Pathetic and vile.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

He needs people to love him and he's discovered that if he says all the atrocious things he truly believes, there is a group of people who will love him because of it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I can see how he inspired people back then. He never inspired me because he always seemed a little off to me, but I had no idea why. There was just something creepy about him.

And now we all know why.

Says the dude actively using twitter. GTFOO of twitter people.

Personally I feel lemmy should ban, or at least mandate they are nsfw screen shots originating from that cesspool.

Remember people when the viewing stops, that awful CEO can go fuck himself.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I don't fault him at all. If you're in the entertainment industry (and want to stay in it), a Twitter presence is pretty much required. Online posting isn't just a hobby, it's part of your job, and Twitter is where the audience is.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (2 children)

and he's paying to use it?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Since Twitter is a pile of shit let me link a photo of this tweet today.

Ah. It was a year and a half ago. And you'll notice the account is no longer verified.

That being said fuck Twitter. Not just since Muskrat took over, fuck it for as long as it has existed and been a blight on society.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

thanks for that :)

It is basically impossible at this point to know. Elon loves giving people who give him shit blue check marks because he thinks it's an insult to them.

Centralization sucks. I know a lot of people who are currently dropping BlueSky and migrating back to Twitter because it was just too much of a loss for them unfortunately.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Mastadon is a thing. It's wild people choose between two closed networks.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Loss of what?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You can choose not to use Twitter without living like a hermit though. In general, this comic sucks as a response.

My incel 30yo cousin loves Musk as of last year.

He used to tweet at Musk to say things like "good job" and swore if he could get Musk to see him, he'd wow him with a billion dollars.

He's the kind of guy who would watch a 4 hour YouTube video of a book summary, rather than read the book. And Ive been slowly deprogramming him because he's in his 30s and miserable, and realizing Joe Rogan lied to him.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

Good luck on the deprogramming.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Good on you.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

It's the definition, isn't it?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

I had a coworker who seems to look up to him. He got offended when I told him I don't trust Musk; and took it to mean I don't like Musk. I clarified that when I said I don't trust him, I meant that I am skeptical and don't care much about him. Mind you, this was before the Twitter takeover and Musk finally showing his true colours, and his only bizarre scandal about him at that point was calling professional divers who rescued trapped Thai kids and refused Elon's offer of help, "pedos".

I left my old company and I wonder what my former coworker thinks of Elon now. My coworker seems to be well-intentioned but I sense deep insecurity from him-- the kind of types who typically idolise Musk.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

I really enjoyed the show of putting the car outside the Earth. That's how I got to know of him. When there is no space exploration budget, trying to make space entertaining appeared like a good idea to me.

But then the cave incident revealed the type of person he was.

Only a few years later I learned that billionaires are the scum of the earth
