I know it’s uncooth to dehumanize anyone, but CEOs like Brian murdered (and the rest continuing to murder all day every day) more people than any serial killer in history because they oversaw automating the process of selling the confidence scheme and then murdering the marks when they threatened the profits of the confidence scheme when they got sick.

People like Jack the Ripper and Ted kaczynski were pathetic, inept hobbyists at mass murder next to an American “healthcare” ceo, and it isn’t close.

And we don’t hold them in even lower regard solely because they do it to get ever richer, which is the only practiced American religion.

As humans go, Brian was somewhere between a serial killer and an even larger scale mass murderer like Adolf Hitler in terms of his practiced inhumanity, maybe he should be dehumanized a little.

There you go. Ignore the content of the screeching and look at what it’s trying to accomplish.

You know what would also get a lot more Teslas sold in a correctly Trump hating world, and partially decouple Trump from the political fallout of the DOGE mess?

Exactly what’s happening.

I was a psychologist until I got burned out.

During those years, I observed something countless times that seems counter-intuitive but is in my anecdotal experience reliably true:

Narcissists tend to actually like each other, and seem to bond effortlessly. “you’re the best thing ever? Holy shit, I’m the best thing ever! We’re so amazing it’s awesome!” type thing. It’s fascinating.

That’s why I’m not going to be played by this. Elon and Donald both have something significant to gain by pretending to “break up with” Each other, Elon trying to detoxify his brand especially internationally and Donald by proving he isn’t Elon’s bitchboy.

They might be legitimately warring in public, they might be playing the media and the people, there’s really no way for outside parties to know at this time, and I wish people would pay more attention to the people Trump is hurting than this ultimately pointless real or not catfight. Invoking Epstein is low hanging fruit, as anyone who isn’t in Trump’s cult and paying any attention has been aware Trump is an Epstein pedo for years and years.

Honestly I don’t care.

This might be real.

This might be an attempt on Musk’s part clean his image for the sake of his robber baron business interests with Trump’s blessing by publicly “breaking with” him.

My opinion of either of them has nowhere left to fall, and Musk has done too much to ever earn an ounce of goodwill back as far as I’m concerned.

I’m against a free market.

I think the market should be chained to benefit society from the bottom up if they want to profit at all.

Donnie is also against a free market, he wants it to serve himself exclusively, which is kind of hilarious since the most selfish class of all is under attack from his greed.

If it isn’t recognition of the glorification of something that shouldn’t even be tolerated and should be legislated out of being practiced with punishments that compete with hate crimes, then no we don’t recognize the problem. And most people who are even against Trump don’t. It is his signature brand and why he represents our people as they are perfectly. (I voted against him every time for the record, but he is a monument to our culture’s sins. He’s like the zeitgeist of the United States of America anthropomorphized into human form.)

That something being avarice.

There was a time when there was mass recognition of the problem, but the Mr. Potters of the world got control when they convinced the masses herp derp you could be rich and shit on your neighbors too! The George Baileys arguing for taking what you need and no more, for community, and most importantly for telling the greed class “No, and by the way fuck you for offering your faustian bargain” lost and died.

The types most laughed at for occupying Wall Street. We clearly don’t recognize the problem, because I hear almost nothing about razing the capital markets to cinder. Those rigged casinos that commoditize our very humanity to be bought, sold, and betrayed when profitable, those market’s utter conquest of their regulators and government need to be destroyed, their arbitrary tabulations of “value” erased, and currency retied to either honest labor, or benefitting directly those who labored for the value of products/services.

Without that, today is the best day of the rest of our lives, and sadly, few recognize that fact. On the bright side, if we don’t, and we know we won’t because our population has been made too ignorant to, capital market made climate change will do our job for us and wipe those markets clean, along with every other aspect of civilization in just a few decades. We have no reason not to stop them save our subsistence opiates like social media and fast food, and that, pathetically myself included, appears to be enough.

You are giving our species too much credit. For almost all of our history, we merely lacked the technologies capable of terraforming our planet against us for short term profit.

If the kings and feudal lords of yore had the capability to burn the long term future to goose their short term greed disease hoards, they would have.

We’re a gaggle of monkeys just barely capable, with great effort, of devising tools with complexities and consequences we’re still far too primitive to wield responsibly, nothing more.

I’m of the opinion this is one of those theoretical Great Filters that explains the lack of a loud universe filled with the signals of other civilizations.

Evolution is slow. If complex life is common and eventually leads to intelligence, maybe there’s just a common chasm between when when a species becomes… clever enough, because we’ve proven as a species we aren’t intelligent… To split atoms or otherwise alter the habitat of their world technologically, but still sit biologically in the tribal, zero sum, rival monkeys have to lose so we big win! mentality that is necessary in nature but harmful to a civilization, that inevitably leads to self-destruction.

What was the FIRST thing we sought to do with the awesome power of the atom again? Wasn’t even a hundred years ago. That’s who we are. We could have made a warm light for all mankind, instead we made big boomie boom rival monkey tribe, wheeeeee!

And we’re STILL not willing to reign in capitalism.

We doomed ourselves. My pity is reserved for all the species we’re taking with us in this murder/suicide for short term profit for the avarice diseased. Those capitalists are by far most to blame, but no one that contributes to the capitalist machine, myself included, is without blame for the effectively permanent destruction of our COMMUNal habitat.

Unless you’re an eco-terrorist who has been actively trying to destroy the capitalist machine, the precious few good guys as far as I’m concerned if your goal is a viable habitat for our species at all beyond the next couple decades, we’ve all been seeing this oncomming train heading towards us our entire lives and done nothing of note.

We can’t keep living like we’ve been living, as gluttonous consumers with 78 kinds of plastic packaged cereal made a thousand miles away in any form AND survive as a species, and it’s clear which choice we’ve made. We aren’t willing to live closer to the land, to farm the food our community eats, to live small lives understanding we are subject to earth and not the other way around, so we gotta go so life can go on without us.

His silence about why says it all.

He isn’t sorry for what he did, murder customers in swaths to metastasize private profit in our American deathcare state sanctioned confidence scheme, he’s sorry he may face violent reprisal for what he did.

I’m glad he’s on record leaving with no apologetic plea, off to count his money from all the murders he oversaw.

When terminal capitalism collapses, coming very soon, and he has nothing of value to pay his guards and security patrols with, the survivors will remember who he is and what he did.

“I… I was just following orders the invisible hand of the market!!!”

To be fair, it would be in line with the practiced values of the Catholic Church throughout history.

They were pro-Nazi until the Nazis were gone. Then ohmygawdwemadeamistaaaake

Democrats would rather lose to fascists than win as the people’s champions.

There’s no bribe money in the latter.

I told you he didn’t do it!

I’m not going to lie, this is a profitable move by Trump, because his voters will line up to get them to antagonize those outside their in group, as was the entire point of their vote, to harm their enemies as an end in itself, regardless of whether he’s able to get the SCOTUS to rule that up means down and no third term means infinite terms for Republicans only.

I’m just looking forward to all the idiots giggling about their own enslavement, as I see anyone wearing that hat as a derivation of this:

thinking of liberals

The ones that enabled us into this mess.

But at least they saved us from universal healthcare and economic equity. Dodged a real bullet there.

I’m sure Republicans would say the same and more about me, but I’d take one migrant who took a risk to work harder than almost any Americans do and give their children a better life (funny how they actually do what the American mythos claims to value, they walk the walk of our largely bullshit rhetoric), at our big corpo’s invitation no less, than a hundred of my fellow American supposed conservatives born in the developed world acting like they hit a triple and reveling in the suffering of those who weren’t born in what was once a cradle of safety until they demolished it with their ballot, seeking to destroy their enemies, aka most Americans, in the zero sum game Faux News drilled into their head.

These people are unashamedly drunk on the schaudenfreude of cruelty. To me, their willful rejection of basic human empathy means they are wholly devoid of value.

You are in a sense.

Americans love to separate ourselves, but George Carlin was right, this is a representative government. I voted against him thrice, and primaried for an actual left, and phone banked for Sanders on two campaigns, but Donald Trump represents the United States as it is in practice perfectly.

He’s like the United States anthropomorphized into human form. Proudly classist, proudly racist, proudly greedy, proudly willfully ignorant, proudly drunk on schaudenfreude, proudly cruel and sociopathic, obsessed with ego score and image despite being a gross, overweight pig.

Trump is this fucking place. The embodiment of everything I’ve despised about this fucking cesspool since before he was fake firing people on fake reality TV. We could not be governed more appropriately as a people given our PRACTICED values of being temporarily embarrassed millionaires dying alone undermining one another to “beat” our neighbors instead of living reasonable lives together if we tried.

Maybe we should stop being a horrible, antisocial society that tries to compete against one another in every possible way instead of cooperating before we continue to tell other places what they’re doing wrong, because this is a meth house on fire, geopolitically speaking, and has been since the 1970s. We don’t have the credibility to get caught up in other nation’s problems.

Oh also, sticks and stones but ad hominems will never hurt me.

I mean, you can and are.

That being said, it’s equivalent to a Chinese citizen finger wagging at the US about our compromised democratic republic.

It would ring empty from a citizen of a place that will literally run tanks over him for wanting a political voice, and would be gallows comical as a source. Context matters.

Don’t like it? Let’s clean our house up. IMHO the Nordic nations, with the happiest citizens with the highest sense of wellbeing in the world, the only point of civilization existing for those still paying attention, have the right to talk Infinite shit about just about anything to just about every other nation, because they’re doing being a society right and meeting the only fucking goal that matters. Their house is made of iron, not candy glass. Every nation on Earth should be taking their notes, every citizen of every other nation rioting for their models to be enacted at home.

I’m saying that you can’t credibly go “you… You fucking shot me! What the fuck?!” at someone who shot you because you shot them a few seconds prior to that.

It doesn’t make it right. It’s wrong. But it’s also a non-sequitur for a serial killer to condemn another serial killer over the sanctity of life.

As an American, Americans have no business condemning other nations about misinformation campaigns until we clean our fucking house up and provide reparations to those both within and without who were hurt by our misinformation campaigns.

And they do it to their citizens too…

…And we do it to other countries and we do it to our citizens.

You can’t condemn another country for what we’ve been actively doing considerably longer than them having never stopped credibly. Our house is made of that candy glass they use in movies in this particular arena.

The oligarchs and their increasingly captured government, including both parties, have been poisoning us against anything that isn’t hyper-capitalist greed enabling from the great depression to the McCarthy witch hunts into today. Very few Americans could define socialism or communism in any sense with a gun to their heads, but they’ve been misinformed into being filled with hate and/or dread when they’re uttered.

Name one world superpower that doesn’t actively engage in mass disinformation campaigns both within and without, I’ll wait. I’d also argue that like our general military, we certainly spend the most on our global Orwell machine. Our CIA, along with the KGB, are the OG playbooks other nations refer to when doing it themselves.
