Stay miserable you fucking Nazi loser.
Progressive Politics
Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)
(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
This has always bothered me. Capitalism won. They control the world. Every death in most of the world feed the machine. From Palestinians to Cambodians, some are bombed, some are worked, but their death is to spin the wheel. The environment is on fire. To spin the wheel. The world is filled with hate. To spin the wheel. Apparently every single fucking billionaire is a pedophile. To spin their wheel.
All of that suffering, all of that pain, to get your rocks off, AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN HAPPY?
Nobody else in the world gets to have a good time so that you can have everything, and you're still not having a good time?
Hey dude. You know what can buy happiness? Compassion, generosity, being of service, creativity, a healthy lifestyle, and staying far away from toxic people like your Trumps, Epsteins, etc. Your conquests and financial success are empty. You see that. Divest. You will live comfortably for the rest of your life now, or pursue endeavors purely for the love of it, or the creative outlet. And you can use that time and money making amends, bettering the lives of everyone around you. Feed the hungry, house the poor, pay for the education and betterment of others, use your influence to benefits those without influence. Empower others to be comfortable too. I promise you that you will feel 10000 times better about yourself, and the people around you will love you for it.
Elon could've done this and make Tesla the biggest company ever. I remember when he was awesome future guy and everyone liked him. I think he got super drunk on this success and has been "chasing the high" in all the wrong ways ever since.
The difference was that he fired his PR agents in 2020 who stopped him from ruining their carefully created advertising. He never was that person.
Absotively.
dude just had to hang onto the ball and run out the clock
This fucker could use his money to actually help people. Everyone would love him. He could be the most popular person in the world. He could be so happy doing good.
Motherfucker, Dickens told you exactly the answer 200 years ago. Here's the fucking Muppet version: https://youtu.be/UIaJcjJReCU
Musk is so creepy Epstien put him on "read," and ghosted him.
He could have started a peaceful revolution, helping millions of people.
Instead, he's knocked up a bunch of women, hates them all (and his children), and spends his days bitching on "Twitter".
GOOD JOB
That's always the idea though isn't it.
You simply do not become a multi-billionaire and have charity and empathy, just to get to the point of having digested so many companies and burned through so many businesses and using people like capital and collateral, you need to be some kind of solipsistic, self-deluded psychopath, but also be stupid enough about humanity and life that you convince yourself you're deserving of taking the hard work of millions of people for yourself.
I guess his narcissism and hoarding disorder makes him sad. Good
No money can’t buy taste.
Not worrying about money can make you happy. Billionaires seem to be only worrying about money.
Not having to worry about money and not worrying about it can make you happy and healthy.
Musk is that edgelord from middle school who never stopped being an edgelord or acting like an idiot pre-teen. He's desperate to see, hip and cool but he's just a petty little snowflake of a human being.
This so angers me
The richest person in the world, who single handedly could do something like end world hunger if he wanted to
The richest person in the world, who got there by exclusively lying his ass off about literally everything
The richest man in the world who went now full Nazi
The richest man in the world now buuwuuu complains that his life is so hard.
I hope you get a fucking paper cut on your dick head.
I can't wait for your kind to die out and disappear. We need to rid the world of millionaires. Wealth caps, now!
I think he's trying to iritate people on purpose with this. I wish people would just stop using his products all together. Then we could stop talking about him entirely.
Take a small example, a tip from me, take all of your money give it up to charity.
Life a'lovin, life a'lovin, come back to me..
All the money in the world and he just had to go fucking around in politics and then our government.
I swear people like this just do not have good real friends in their life to ground them.
That's Trump's problem. And Biden, Clinton, Bush (1&2), Obama, Reagan Nixon... All the way back. For the elderly, I would argue elder abuse, additionally.
Of course not, the dumb fucks have detached themselves from every single meaningful human connection possible
Money actually has a strong diminishing return on happiness. A lack of money can definitely make you unhappy. More money also makes it easier to be happy, but does make it easy.
That's actually the hole that the rich can get into. They (subconsciously) assume they would be happy with just a bit more money. They delay or ignore the things that would make them happy in trade for more money/power.
It would actually be quite sad, if it didn't fuck the rest of us over completely.
I do pity them. I long for a world in which such hoarding, deleterious tendencies were treated as the mental health crisis they are, and that such a thing were made impossible to occur.
It's not called "retail therapy" for nothing!
That's a dopamine hit
‘Tell him we will pray for him.’ ‘He needs your prayers.’ ‘Is he, then, an unhappy man?’ Poirot said, ‘So unhappy that he has forgotten what happiness means. So unhappy that he does not know he is unhappy.’ The nun said softly, ‘Ah, a rich man…’ Poirot said nothing—for he knew there was nothing to say…
The Apples of Hesperides
There actually are a few rich folks that see the need for more taxation at the high level and such. They sorta get there is only so nice money can make their lives before you get to the point where the earth in general has to get better to improve their quality of life. Many though seem caught up in some sorta game to have the most. Stan ridgeway has a great line in his I want to be the boss song about that. I have said before that I could only get so rich because if I got to a certain point im not going to be chasing that stuff and would chill like the my space guy.
Well if the money isn't helping you I'm sure there's many others it would WOULD help...
I get it. All that money, and he still has to pay women to be surrogates to breed his organ donor offspring. They certainly won't have sex with him under any circumstances, no matter how much money he throws around.
Not that it matters, because even if he could get a woman to put down her 10 foot pole and consider actual coitus, he couldn't perform anyway, reportedly due to his wang won't work due to botched enlargement surgery.
You just know he is funding cutting edge research into penis transplant surgery in some weird lab somewhere. Watching a lot of porn, probably got his eye on a couple of candidates right now.
Don't you feel sorry for him?
With a working penis a rich guy like that could certainly buy a lot of temporary happiness, getting BJs from sexy whores and stuff. But since he says he can't we can assume he doesn't have one.
He should Marie Kondo his Wall Street portfolio. If the stocks don't spark joy, he should let them go.
I have some ideas about how to make them enjoy themselves less
I have some ideas about how to make them enjoy themselves more.
Oh boo fucking hoo. You could have taken your daddy's stolen blood money and done a whole lot of good on the world. Instead you made yourself a fat rich old hated piece of shit who creeps about trying to sell his jizz to his mates. Money can't buy you a sense of fucking shame.
"I shat in the pool and now the pool is all full of my shit and everyone else at the pool party hates me waaaaa!"
Want to make a lot of people happy, Elon?
KILL YOURSELF
I don't know how Elon is going to die.
But I'm rooting for it.
Go look at a recent photo of the top 10 richest men in the world and tell me if any of them look like they are having a good life. I mean, Bezos is the only one of them who has any type of emotional reaction to things resembling a normal human reaction. Not a good human, but still, human. The rest of them just look like soulless husks most of the time. I wouldn't wanna trade places with any of them for even a millisecond. I imagine that the overwhelming feeling of loneliness and detachment from humanity would scar me for life.
The Apartheid-Pedo shall eat shit.
This is a man who feels compelled to lie about being good at video games. He's one of the most pathetic human beings on the face of the planet.
