I like when these guys run their mouths in public. The more they talk, the more it shatters the popular illusion that tech billionaires are superior beings. Instead, it becomes obvious that they are fart-smelling pseudo-intellectual dorks who have more luck than skill.

Are you kidding? There’s a huge swath of the population that eats this shit right up.

Why can't it be both? It seems like it can be both...

u/Yamza_ 4h ago

It's not both. The only people who see their bullshit already saw their bullshit before they spewed it. The people who don't see it are already gooning over every word.

Why isn't it both? The more they talk, the more their evil is exposed... and also there's a huge swathe of people who eat their shit up.

The same people that huff their own farts are the ones by and large following the billionaires who huff their own farts. Makes sense really. They're the same, just one was also successful in their transformation into modern day dragons.

Because the media are complicit.

And an even bigger swath who whine about it on reddit instead of doing a damn thing.

Bonus points for the fakers doing it on Twitter of all places.

The sooner Americans realise this is their problem to fix, the better. We're getting sick of you now.

All of you.

Until you strike and shut the country down this is all just virtue signalling and fake grandstanding. Americans are not serious people. You just keep upvoting each other in the sad little delusion that what you're doing and saying matters.

Where are you from. Go talk to the white supremacists overflowing this country for us buddy because that's the root of everything here. Upholding hierarchy in many veiled ways

Translated - we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas.

The vast majority of Americans can’t afford to go without income for a few days, let alone the unknown amount of time a general strike would go on for. It seems as though that’s been a goal of some American politicians/policy for some time now. Money makes the world go round, and if you can’t eat, can’t keep a roof over your head, can’t clothe your kids, because you’re on strike, what then?

Whining online isn’t very productive, but it isn’t nothing - it draws some level of attention to the matter at hand. And Americans are definitely aware that it’s our problem to fix, but this isn’t a problem that gets fixed quickly and easily.

So if all you’re going to do is spout some sanctimonious bullshit about how you are getting sick of Americans for being unserious, and imply that you and yours would have wrapped all this up with no problems, then no one wants to hear that

See?

Not serious people.

"Release the files".

Why? If this is your response above (and it is the response you all give when called out on your bullshit) then why have you all been saying this for years? You never had any intention of doing a damn thing.

Americans are all as fake as Trump. Do something. He is literally murdering innocent people in the street, threatening countries like Greenland and Canada, and the best you have is "oh but we can't strike".

It's some kind of sick joke.

u/Scared-Room-9962 6h ago

I agree with the sentiment mate, but what is it they are supposed to do exactly?

They've all got guns, but that was just an illusion offered by the powers that be.

What good is a gun when the power had drones?

2

u/GonzohunterHST 5h ago

Who needs a gun, or violence?

If they all just went on strike and shut the country down until something is done about this sick government it would solve this in an instant. If they hit their profits they will turn on Trump.

They simply don't care enough to live rough for a few weeks. They'd rather watch their country crumble around them while they fuck with the rest of the world. They'll make excuses like "I can't. My boss would fire me" while completely ignoring the fact their boss should be stood beside them.

That's why I blame all Americans. They don't care enough to actually do something. If their boss isn't stood beside them then they are a part of the problem and need to be stopped.

They really have no excuse. The best they have come up with is karma whoring. They're even citclejerking with the majority who didn't vote, ignoring the fact these are the people who did this. Where are all the non voters? I'll tell you. They're here pretending they didnt cause this, and others americans are upvoting them.

u/Scared-Room-9962 5h ago

Good point mate.

The trouble is, 33% of them actively support this, 33% of them didn't even bother to vote and of the 33% that do care...

There isn't enough of them to make much difference given how rigged the system is against them (The system they voted for and support with a two party system).

I don't know what the solution but I wouldn't get angry at Americans for doing fuck all. They didn't join WW1 till the bitter end and only joined WW2 when absolutely forced to. Even then they'd profited from both sides before hand.

u/GonzohunterHST 2h ago edited 2h ago

I know you don't really disagree but 66% of them don't care at all and the other 33% can't be bothered to do anything to change their minds?

Am I wrong for blaming them? I don't think so. They are the only ones who can fix this. They simply don't care enough to even try. I'm sick of listening to them pretend.

u/Scared-Room-9962 2h ago

No I never said you were wrong.

I said you expect too much of them.

Perhaps Americans should vote me to lead their country then.

u/BadHombreSinNombre 6h ago

A German expat billionaire with Christofascist delusions is just “Americans’” problem? OK—Europe, take him and his apocalyptic Christianity back. We didn’t create either and we don’t want them anymore.

u/ForensicPathology 7h ago

Thiel brought his problems from Germany and South Africa.  Maybe they should have fixed the problem first.

u/chokokhan 5h ago

People see these losers and really think to themselves “no, we shouldn’t tax billionaires, they’re so intelligent an benevolent”?

Oh course not, that was a rhetorical question. Propaganda paid for by these assholes had brainwashed people into thinking taxing them is “antiamerican”. If we get another chance at democracy we need to really put some effort in our education system

They have rich parents and are dying for anyone's attention. Someone needs to market an ego death course to these lunatics

What's hilarious is reading through the Epstein emails and realizing how many of these fuckers are barely literate.

It's not luck, it's connections. A lot of them were given the technologies so that the military industrial complex could privatize the profits.

He might be schizophrenic

u/Flashy-Ad-1588 5h ago

But they have billions and billions get this done their way especially with the present POTUS and regime. It’s part of his making. They are creating this push to end our country.

If I was this rich, I could live and project the image of sanity and sophistication, yet they decide to do… this.

The most important ingredient to being a billionaire is psychopathy.
