Hunger Games - Resist oligarchy, enslavement and groteque forms of capital punishment for ancestral "crimes".

Star Wars - Resist the fascist space dictator and the military industrial complex.

The Matrix - Resist authoritarian control, the obfuscation of reality, lack of bodily autonomy, and literal farming of our organs.

Divergent - Resist.. cliques, I guess? I'm gonna be honest, everything I know about this series seems dumb to me. Maybe someone more informed and 10 years younger can make a better case than me here...

V for Vendetta - Resist actual factual old school fascists/Nazis, war crimes, concentration camps, human experimentation, total media control, punishment without due process.

Notice how none of these are "Resist governments that make me pay a progressive tax that limits the burden on lower income earners, that regulate industries to ensure worker, public and environmental safety, that seek to limit the influence money plays in our elections so that our representative democracy remains representative of everyone, not just the rich?" Because the shit you are resisting is the good shit, you dumb manchild fuck. It's not the fucking same.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a better example of "main character syndrome" as Musk just displayed here.

absolutely batshit crazy levels of delusion.

does the richest man in the world think... the "resistance" is... tech billionaires?

does he believe the group recklessly wielding sweeping executive powers, directing raids of homes and schools, imprisoning, threatening, black bag kidnapping dissenters off the street, and deploying the military to the borders.... that they are the resistance?!

i know playing the victim is a standard gaslighting fascist rhetorical maneuver... but if he really thinks of himself as a "rebel" outsider. god help us. this man's continued metabolic equilibrium puts us all in grave danger.

Can he depart from this planet already?

I hope he never has an unstressed day for the rest of his life. And I hope it's a short life. Fascist fuck.

He didn't write this, he stole it, like everything else.

How cute. He thinks he is part of the resistance and not the thing being resisted.

Villains rarely see themselves as villains. The worst of them strongly believe that they are the good guys.

He sided with the Dark side.
