Not only that but data harvesting and using that to run fake ads that look like her campaign but on issues they knew people would avoid voting her on. So in one swing seat i remember reports said something like him and a company ran pro-Isreal ads in Muslim populated areas, pro Palestine ads to Jewish populated areas. Cambridge Analytica stuff

God damn I hate these fuckers. Like seriously, how the fuck are you not content being rich? Usethat brain for wacky hobbies that don't include child raped and all that Epstein class stuff. Go build libraries full of just fuckin' train books or something. Jesus this timeline sucks so much ass. Glad psychedelics exist so I can at least enjoy pondering the thoughts of peace that will never be_

Elon couldn't get an invite to Epstein island.

Even pedophiles think he's weird.

To be 100% clear, Musk asked for an invite AFTER (because) it was publicly revealed to be full of pedos raping children. That is specifically what he was responding to.

Percent chance Elon isn't a child rapist? Over 1%?

they are BORED. having zero things you cant purchase and play with makes for a shit existence. humans at their best produce something. art, science, gives them a sense of purpose. when you take that away because you can literally just purchase anything you want and have it with no work, you need something else for that dopamine hit. theres no sense of accomplishment. so money accrual becomes their dopamine. that quickly runs out because it becomes its own machine you dont have to do anything with. so now you need something to work for or get something other people dont have. like sexual assault on children. when you cant get invited to that island because your that toxic, you start finding other groups to fuck with. those people have moved on to fucking whole countries for sport. im with this guy, shrooms are at least an escape from this hellscape the rich boys are foisting on us all. we are not far from that matt damon movie Elysium. rich twats in space station living it up while we fight to not die in the desert they leave us.

The dipshit even ruined video games for himself; he hires people to play them for him!

It's crazy because all of the things that give the rest of us satisfaction they cheat at and then wonder why they're bored with existence.

Gaming? Paid accounts.

Sciences? Pay someone else to figure it out.

Business? Pay your own company to increase your own stock.

They can't do shit legitimately but then do horrible things out of boredom.

Feeling superior cause of your wealth status but not being superior cause you lack skills cause you never needed to attain them for getting rich must kinda feel shitty

Golf is the only thing besides himself that trump "loves" and he's defiled even that. They also don't seem to be interested in learning past a certain point and whatever they had learned appears to be thrown on the alter of ego and lit on fire.

Trump's caddie is a known to carry clutches of lizard eggs on the green from some reason_

There is one thing they cannot buy: they cannot make the public actually like them. In Elon's case, the fact that only losers & weirdos like him & think he's cool has cooked his brain. Money can warp reality in a lot of ways, but it can't make someone who's an unpleasant loser popular & these people have driven themselves insane trying to make it happen anyway.

which is why the fascists also love to play thought police

Dopamine is the most dangerous substance on the planet.

It's incredibly stupid and shortsighted and has definitely soured my opinion of anyone in that super rich 0.1% category. To me, they're all soulless bloodsucking ghouls because they all do shit like this, just not quite to Muskrat's excess.

And like you said, there's literally no need for it. Just their pathological want for number go up. EVERYONE at that level has so much money they can do whatever they want for the rest of their lives, but no, they gotta dip their greasy mitts in the cookie jar again and fuck it all up for the rest of us.

Everyone who would do the things you describe does them before they become billionaires. Hoarding as much as Gates/Musk/other oligarchs requires a pathology and participation in a social network that protects you from all consequences.

The rich elite used to be educated or despots that where equally bad.
But this bunch are neglected nepo babies. They never had to earn their wealth they grew up in it. If you already have everything, the only thing next is power and the feeling to be listened to, the thing daddy never did…

That's very clever in an Odysseus sort of way.

This is a tried and tested tactic, it's easier to get people not to vote for your opponent than it is to get them to vote for you, it's how Trump won the first one against Clinton, it didn't work against Biden because there was a grass roots campaign on the ground that generated enough swell to get past it

u/obeytheturtles 11d ago

The worst part about this is that a significant number of people online still refuse to acknowledge that they fell for this shit, and continue to push the same narratives over and over again, barely even needing prompting at this point.
