What I'm learning about Trump is that my perceptions of "fuck you" money are warped. I figured anybody with that amount of money would be able to say "yes" and "no" to things that they agree with and all that. Tech bros bended the knee ahead of time in anticipation of this farce. However, at the current time it's absolutely insanity and they're keeping mum on the subject. They all have so "fuck you" money that they'll never run out of "fucks" to give but they won't change at all.

I guess maybe they're all inherently evil to begin with and they're getting exactly what they want so there's no reason to say "fuck you"

Oh don't get it twisted, irl billionaires also attempt physical enhancement, just through things like surgery and drugs (ozempic for example), and maybe some cheetos colored bronzer.

meanwhile, the world becomes more and more corrupt because no one is fighting crime.

While misleading the public into voting against their own interest because they are aware of rising crime rates even though the kind of crime they are scared of has been on the decline for decades.

Tbf poor people could be vigilantes too. Rich or poor, it’s probably not worth a long prison sentence to risk it.

Zuck doesn’t fight crime, but I thought he trained in some kind of martial art which is why he was gonna kick musk’s ass in the octagon until musk’s mom told them to stop.

I hate to admit I would have liked to see that.

The last two Batman movies kind of hit home at the incompetent billionaire.

The Dark Knight Rises has a billionaire give resources to an agent of chaos to try to get more power at a time when he's got a lot as is.

The Batman has the entire ruling class except Bruce Wayne being completely corrupt. Bruce Wayne, the only non-corrupt elite outside the new mayor, is incompetent.

The comparison to Darth Vader hurts though...

Agent 47 doesn't deserve this

"Where's thee italian"

People broadly have an unconscious belief that someone is "in charge" and we like to believe it's either a hero or villain depending on if you like/dislike what's happening around you.

The sad reality is that a comic villain at least would imply a thought-out plan, and in the real-world, people rarely do this. We usually accomplish great things as a species like building and maintaining cities, logistics and utilities and making computers because there's a lot of us all focused on doing the same thing. Not because there's some elite class of "leader" who knows how to create wealth or jobs from ideas and knows exactly what to do and when and what the results would be. That's just the image that robber-barons want to instill in you, but they're not planning beyond making off with the cartoonish bag of cash with a big dollar sign on it.

The world is dumber than we possibly know.
