Gilded Age wokeness is amazing. Hell yeah we're a nation of ethnic stereotypes you didn't even know existed.

i hold a record on the kobayashi maru. i’m the fastest person to ever say it was a no-win situation. they said, “george, we haven’t even finished explaining it yet.” i said, “doesn’t matter. can’t be done.”

You used to be able to jokingly steal a cops gun and all you would get is a literal slap on the wrist- you have no idea what we have lost.

It's kinda beast mode that he introduces Robert as "as wide as he is tall" and you're like. Ok that's gotta be the fattest bastard in the world and he absolutely is not. George introduces bastards fatter than Robert like dragon ball characters

Bam was kind of an evil little shit but he’s vital to Jackass because of his almost supernaturally funny physicality the moment something goes south for him. He revels in tormenting others but truly shines when he’s the one suffering. He’s like a real life Daffy Duck

I’ve studied these two and written biographies’ worth of articles on them. They are a unique byproduct of deeply abusive families and an apartheid education system that trained them to believe they were the superior race.

They were also taught to hate people like themselves.

Peter Thiel was a young gay boy in a town & a school that were the last places in the world to use “Heil Hitler” as a greeting. Peter both believes he is superior but also that he is defective. That’s why he’s a dedicated transhumanist. He wants to ESCAPE this world—and himself—by any means necessary.

Elon is the quintessential incel—an asocial nerd with sociopathic, abusive, racist parents. He got put in the hospital for being an asshole at school. He morphed his father’s sci-fi bedtime stories and his apartheid brainwashing into a grandiose delusions of being the emperor of a colony on Mars—white people only.

The result is a messianic malignant narcissist who believes he has the right to enact a eugenics program on the world—“for our own good.” USAID was just the start.

Elon Musk doesn’t think “takers” should vote. He thinks empathy is suicidal. He actively stokes race war.

For Peter and Elon, the emotional compression of both hating everyone who doesn’t look like them AND hating themselves created genocidal monsters—because they there is nowhere to run. They’re trapped in their own private hell and they don’t care who it hurts to escape.

They found each other 30 years ago and started collaborating on the project of burning down American constitutional democracy so they can create a corporate feudalist dictatorship from the ashes. They see human life as dirty, unnecessary, and complicated. They want death—a lot of it.

Erich Fromm, who defined the term “malignant narcissist” would have called them necrophiles. They much prefer machines to people.

The American system not only failed to filter out these extraordinarily evil creatures but actively elevated them to a position of being able to present an existential danger as they do now. That failure is a cross-section of everything that needs to change.

These are the exact people we should never allow to call themselves Americans, much less give them untold billions of our tax dollars to destroy the very systems they used to obtain their obscene hoards of wealth.

We became too tolerant, too weak, and too complacent.

We have to kick this evil out or be swallowed by it. Those are the only two choices.

herodotus writes about a man forced into slavery & castrated, who then became the favorite eunuch of persian king xerxes & used his position of authority in the achaemenid court to take revenge against the man, by forcing him to castrate his sons and having his sons castrate him

This may be the funniest image of the entire Trump administration.

Interview with an 84-year-old farmer in New York, 1926.

The farmer describes the change he’s seen over the years, and what life was like for a farmer in the Catskill Mountains of New York State during the early to mid 19th-century.

[rain @redactedrain]

what they wont tell you is that we used to have trees this big. look it up.

[welcome to our trash revolution @trash_panda97]

crazy how this case and the prairieland 9 aren’t getting more attention. do people not realize what’s happening? the trump admin is rounding activists up for doing nothing except nonviolently opposing their fascism. if they can do it to these people they can do it to you too.

[alaska @145k4]

in the 1930s rockefeller spent 500 million dollars to transport 5 cloistered abbeys from the 1100s-1400s all the way from europe atop a hill in manhattan, provided an additional endowment, and then donated the entire thing to the city.

[Christian Heiens 🏛 @ChristianHeiens]

Reminds me of the story of Mao’s Red Guards going out into the Chinese countryside in 1966 and being asked by a village elder “who sits on the Dragon Throne these days?”
