I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down. I just didn’t expect them to be such losers

  Living your life to impress other men by hating women is one of the most embarrassing things I can imagine. Looking up to any of these men for how to live your life is even sadder.

  I’ve worked hard to keep these kinds of men out of my personal life, to keep them away from me, out of my goddamn sight. Now they are in my face daily, not only influencing the world for the worse but making me nauseous at how uncool and pathetic they are, on top of their other sins. It’s too much, I can’t take it, there needs to be a change.

  It’s time for us to start getting revenge on the nerds.

  Sounds to me like they crave attention more than anything, poor insecure past-neglected angsty man-agers they are. Depopulating their various platforms and reducing their viewership would be nice. Sucks that anyone at all would feel inclined to lend them their ears and eyes when there are far better alternatives out there.

    Man when I think of living it up with wealth and power I think of Sal Maroni in The Dark Knight.

    These guys don’t need a criminal underworld to have a cigar, dress in a tailored designer suit, get a drink and a couple of girls to pretend to like you while you drown your thoughts in excessively loud music and exotic dancers on stage.

    I think these elite are afraid of what they are: flawed humans. They can’t get everything they demand, and they’d rather destroy humanity than admit they were wrong or made a mistake, or felt bad about something. So they have to pump the fascists up and make damn sure the people have someone other that just you to get angry about.

  Huh, it’s almost like people who try to destroy the world are weird and shitty. I’m mostly surprised that anyone else is surprised.

    People expect the villains to be cool, because that’s how they’re portrayed in movies.

    Seriously, it’s like nobody else ever had to deal with a pathological narcissist or someone with BPD before in their lives.

  Because it’s so much better when they’re charismatic assholes?

    It would make more sense.

    A charismatic tyrant at least provides SOME excuse. People aren’t necessarily monsters, they are just gullible.

    When you have someone as decrepit and incompetent as trump who ALSO has a visible diaper bulge at his hips and who can’t speak a coherent sentence? There is no argument other than people truly choosing hate above all else.

    I think it’s much sadder (more sad? saddest) that people fall for such absurd douche bags. If they would at least be sexy and seem smart you could understand how people could be fooled but this is just too hard to watch.

      Propoganda fucking works, simple as that

      Billionaires just buy good press and publicists to manage their image, it’s so effective they believe it themselves

      So like, if instead of musk and zuckerburg, it were a 1990s George Clooney? The smug bastard…

      Yeah like, they have negative charisma, so it’s extra baffling. I cannot imagine a world in which I’d support Donald Trump, but definitely not in this one where he routinely shits his own diaper. If he was only disgusting mentally but was a good speaker or handsome or whatever, it would make at least a little more sense

    Yeah, I don’t get this. If it was George Clooney or some other charismatic/likeable person, they’d still be fucking us over.

      The sad thing is that the bar is so low. If it was a once in a century charismatic leader you could say “I get how people fell for this!”. But the fact it’s Trump and Musk just exposes how utterly flawed human society is, and how easy it is to slide backwards.

      I don’t know about Clooney. His wife is one of the good eggs in this world and I’d think she would kick him in the grapes if he was a shithead loser like these fucks.

      Yeah but at least they’d have style. Their popularity would at least make sense. It would feel a little less horrifyingly alienating.

      Agreed. Tom Brady being the football goat doesn’t make him being MAGA any more palatable.

  It is indeed pathetic how Musk, Zuckerberg and even Trump don’t actually have any friends.
