You connect the dots.
Mitch McConnell is actually the best Metaphor for, and representation of, America and our political system. He spent almost a century making the world a better place for only himself and his friends, married an immigrant while working tirelessly against other immigrants, manipulated the system to increase his power only to be usurped & made impotent by someone even more unethical, unscrupulous and power hungry. Then when the system is finally done with him, they keep his dead body on life support just to use him for one more power move until finally allowing him sweet sweet death while his wife flees the country and his children go into hiding. And when it's all said and done, he'll be best remembered for a meme that made him into a turtle. America.
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.
What’s happened to id Software is shameful. @asha_shar if this is some sneaky way to get rid of idTech and push UE5 onto the studio, for one that’s going to be a disaster, and for two you’re getting rid of what makes id Soft what it is. It’s not too late to rehire the engineers.
@TheCartelDel There hasn’t been a real sequel to Quake since 2005… the fact it’s even mentioned probably means it was something already in the works lmao.
@boomshootart It’s pretty obvious they used a lot of this game’s art direction and vibe for what eventually became 2016 and some aesthetics going on in Dark Ages. I was disappointed that Eternal was a big departure and had no real interesting art style or direction going on.
@TheCartelDel Yeah, like they gotta be addicted to bad engagement or something. People just gotta block and move on more often. It makes the person trying to get at you mad even if they pretend they won lol.
@verge So is literally every other game company (besides Valve & Nintendo). There’s no where for people to go after lay offs. No one is hiring unless you live in Austin, Texas or Bellevue, Washington or willing to move there.
@eStarland i don't think a new wario ware is coming any time soon but, maybe a new wario land. pikmin probably won't have a new mainline game for a while but, maybe a spin-off. kid icarus would be prime for a new game but, that feels like it would be up to Sakurai to bring it back.
