That these cretins are still clinging to their fucking Matrix / red pill metaphor like a decade after the Wachowskis came out as trans should tell you everything you need to know about how much internal sense any of their ideas make.

Look at this MF, he was weird before Vance made it even more uncomfortable

Sounds like something a terminally online incel would come up with.

Conservative policies in any dimension of society are hostile to great swaths of the population affected by them.

The only reason people support conservatives is because of culture war bullshit, which is used to brainwash them by constantly making them afraid of each other.

No one sensible should be voting conservative under a late-stage capitalism scenario, which is where we are

I've been saying for a while that the giant covid bailouts for businesses are exactly what will happen if trump is re-elected. He's so afraid of not being able to say "best economy ever" he'll drive up inflation to make failing megacorps slightly more profitable to shareholders insatiable greed.

If you think house prices are unaffordable now, consider how much extra money rich people will throw around after another round of tax cuts for themselves.

Ohhh the matrix...shut the fuck up, edgelord.

The matrix is a trans allegory, keep that shit out of your mouth.

I wonder how he squares the circle of the fact that The Matrix was written by two trans women.

Red pillers always try to deny that their chosen metaphor is really a metaphor for coming out as trans.

Steady and ever increasing doses of ketamine.

Fine, Elon can be right about one thing I guess

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago

I don't know if he's had a rational thought in the past decade, if that.

Fascist appropriating culture to promote their fascist agenda is nothing new.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

No culture of their own, so they have to beat up leftists in dark alleys looking for loose artistic styles.

Because if there's one thing Elon is really good at, it's being efficient.

Look how efficient he is at sitting around tweeting stupid shit all day.
